I am a 28 year old Mexican - American artist born and raised in Texas. I try to represent my culture in everything that I do.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite medium to use is oil paint, acrylics and charcoal. I do not have a specific art style as I don’t like to follow norms therefore I usually go based off on what I see on my everyday basis.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in nature, in the world and in the everyday life. I try to see things a little different yet I like to connect with different emotions, different inspirations based on how I feel and think. I love life too much for me to put it in a single canvas.
What would you do with $25,000?I would probably pay off my college tuition or pay off my truck. Which ever comes first. Either that or save that money wisely and continue working and creating art like I always do, no amount of money can change the way I create my work therefore I wouldn’t let it affect me but I will be very grateful of the opportunity. I have never won any awards or any money for my work, I don’t sell my work everything is strictly personal so I don’t know what I would do with that money.
