Creating art feels like a vocation — an inner fire that flows naturally and connects me to something deeper than words.
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 semi-abstract art focused on color interaction, texture, and harmony. Although my professional background is in medicine, painting allows me to explore a more intuitive and emotional side of myself. I mostly work with acrylics and palette knives. My process is highly layered: I spread colors across the canvas using large palette knives, let them dry, and then repeat the process with smaller tools to create chaotic textures and camouflage-like patterns. I repeat this layering mult
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration when I disconnect from media and noise. No social media, movies, TV, or magazines. Silence is where creativity begins for me. Music is the only thing I allow myself during that process. It helps me enter a state of flow where compositions appear naturally. I also believe inspiration comes from God. Art already exists somewhere beyond us — the artist is simply the channel.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest most of the money into my artistic career: materials, studio space, exhibitions, and developing new projects. Part of it would also help me build stability for my future, possibly as the beginning of a home. More than anything, this support would give me the freedom to dedicate more time and energy to creating art and continuing to grow as an artist.
