Creating art warms my heart and soul, to plunge into creativity with all my being brings me fulfilment beyond explanation.
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 photography, I like to capture life as it happens without expectation of a set outcome. Capturing moments that will never be again, whether an object, person, thing or nature itself andpreserving it forever is the ultimat reward for me.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in life, nature, everyday things and people, it's spontaneous and raw. Whether it's a still, quiet moment in an otherwise noisy street, or a raging storm with lots of personality, or a baby taking their first steps, these moments are breathtaking and pure. I find myself absorbing the way an image makes me feel inside.
What would you do with $25,000?I would build my own home photo studio and use it to create inspiring images alongside students, veterans and seniors to nurture the future of the art while giving those who never got the opportunity to express themselves creatively the chance to create something beautiful
