I love to create art because it lets me express my feelings and my artistic ideas. My art shows a story while being beautiful.
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 all types of art to be honest. I do really like using watercolor then color pencils. I feel that using watercolor lets you be free and a little messy but then use color pencils to show details. I also really like painting which can be hard to detail but it lets me take my time while having fun. My favorite it pencil because i can do different shading techniques that let the black stand out with the white highlights that creates an amazing piece of art.
Where do you find inspiration?When i create my artwork i usually draw my own pictures that i love. I also love to create art with what im feeling in the moment so i find inspiration from things i love, feel passionate about, and also that i just find unique. I believe art can be anything you make it to be and when i am trying to make something i let it glow off the too of my brain because it becomes the best art that shows how i felt and what i love at the same time.
What would you do with $25,000?Art has always been a part of my life; It let me express my feelings in a way I couldn't speak about. When I first started drawing, I didn't have many friends, but my art gave me something to talk about, and people talked to me, too. I have been creating art since I learned how to write, and I have only continued to improve so I can become a famous animator for Disney or even Pixar to make short movies. this award will help me pay for some of my college that will lead me to my dream.
