Through my Universeyes, I create playful yet cosmic worlds that explore imagination, identity, and our connection to the universe
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I’m passionate about acrylic painting in its most expressive and free form. I work with brushes, palette knives, sponges, and sometimes my own hands, because I believe the most authentic art is born from direct contact between the artist and the work.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from life itself: nature in its infinite perfection, the mysteries of the cosmos, and the deep connection between human beings and the universe. Every brushstroke is a dialogue between the earthly and the eternal.
What would you do with $25,000?This opportunity would represent a transformative step in my life. I would use part of it as a down payment to buy my own home, a space where I can live, create freely, and continue growing as an artist. At the same time, I would dedicate a portion to supporting organizations committed to the care and preservation of our planet, because I believe that art and responsibility toward our environment should go hand in hand.
