Art is my escape from the world its the only place where I can find true peace! Finding this passion for art 2 years ago changed my life!
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My focus lies in the realm of realism. To capture life, truth, perspective, to capture the details the eye doesn’t catch. Every little detail matters, which mirrors life itself. That’s why realism is my choice of art style.
Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration from the growth and knowledge studying art brings me. To continue to grow my knowledge and skills as an artist is what inspires me, Life and art are one and the same. The more I perfect my art the better I feel myself. Art saved my life, made me a stronger, more well rounded person. That’s what inspires me to keep pushing myself and my art forward.
What would you do with $25,000?Winning this competition would mean I can finally move forward in life in a way that pushes my growth rather than stifles it. Finally get my own place, fix my car, pay off my debt. I’ve struggled to grow for so long, with these winnings I could finally get my life on the track I need it to be so I can focus on deeper growth and study!
