I've always been drawn to art since I was a kid. I love how it allows so much freedom and expression. I wish inspire future artist.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favourite type of art I like to produce is painting with acrylics on a canvas, though I try not to limit myself to one style because I feel there's so much to opportunity to learn, grown and be expressive. I have ventured into as many type of art such as clay, 3D printing, photography etc whatever was available to me.
Where do you find inspiration?A big mixing pot of people that inspire me. Classic artists like Savador Dali, Vincent van Gogh, Patrick Nagel, Edvard Munch, Other people who inspire me are Akira Toryama, David Bowie,John Lurie. People who inspire me that are closer to me are my mother, my girlfriend and my high school art teacher. My inspirations help but generally I go with the flow and what feels right at the time.
What would you do with $25,000?I'd love to use the money to move to Scotland to be with my girlfriend of almost 8 years and from there I would love to showcase my art in different art studios and start a art buisness, as well as set up free art classes for adults and children. I would love to inspire people to find what their burning passion is and for them to be able to express it.
