I create art to contain the quiet things that should not exist, shaping them before they learn how to shape me instead.
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 to create is drawing eldritch horrors, the kind that feel half seen and half remembered, like something the mind was not meant to hold onto for long.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration comes from the quiet edges of things, strange dreams, distorted shadows, old stories, and moments that feel slightly wrong, like reality slipping for just a second.
What would you do with $25,000?With 25,000 dollars I would build a quiet life around creating, investing in tools, time, and space to draw what lingers in my mind while the rest is saved to keep the darkness patient.
