I find art to be an important aspect of my life, creating and giving a piece of myself to the community around me. It’s life and passion.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love to create psychedelic realism, sometimes I’ll start a piece and have no idea where it’s gonna go but every time I create I feel alive. I use all mediums from oil paint, acrylic to pencil color pencil, glass dip pen, and bleach, anything really :)
Where do you find inspiration?I gain a lot of inspiration from Salvador Dali, Vincent Van Gogh, and Wyland . Dali’s art is dreamlike and mesmerizing, van gogh’s art brings life to the canvas in a beautiful and expressive way, and wyland’s art shows the ocean and its beauty in such a joyful way.
What would you do with $25,000?I’m 24 years old and I’m enlisted in the navy stationed in Washington. I would use that money to help me buy my first house, I hope to use the exposure as well to boost my art career and my confidence with the community.
