Art is a way to show your expression, creativity, and emotions, but for me, it’s a way to show my souls color to the world.
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 art is definitely mixed media combining different types of mediums like acrylic paint with watercolor or traditional painting with digital art, or sculpture on a canvas to make it 3D. Really just experimenting with different styles to create something unique.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration all around me, from nature’s most colorful landscapes, to art museums older relics/paintings, the unique fantasy worlds inside books/movies, the emotional stories that connect me with my family, friends, and culture. Anything that my heart grasps onto will always become art.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it to make more art really, have more supplies to help me create, help build my education in the arts, expand more knowledge by going to more museums, to really help value/support the knowledge and creativity that other artists have given to the this world and how I can learn from it, to help advance in my art style and artistic journey.
