Art is like oxygen… lifes meaningless without it. I cannot live without creating. I live and work in the same space to create “happy art”
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love creating fluid abstract and surreal images using bright colors, bold lines, nostalgic elements to create interesting and captivating pieces that awaken the viewers inner child.
Where do you find inspiration?Living in NYC everything is inspiration. I love walking around the city and sketching or painting outdoors. Paint colors also inspire me to create. I love including nostalgic cartoonish elements to abstract and surreal painting to capture childhood iconography and touch on the viewers inner child.
What would you do with $25,000?I would find an art studio to work out of and host my second solo self funded art show. I would love to find a street facing storefront to work out of and host other artists for group shows and give local artists a place to have their art on display for walk ins to buy art from local artists.
