My name is Sam, and I’m 13 years old. I love creating art because it lets me express myself in ways I can’t always put into words.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Semi-realistic, folk art and pop-art.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the music I listen to and the way it makes me feel. I also get ideas from everyday things, like thrifted clothes I can transform, and from my grandmother’s quilts, which inspire me with their colors, patterns.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest most of it for my future and the rest i would buy art supplies, guitar supplies and possibly put money towards my first car.
