I create art to turn pain, beauty and spirit into something real that speaks to people and brings hope, truth and connection.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Expressive, soulful paintings that blend emotion, story, symbolism, and beauty—art that helps people feel seen, moved, and inspired.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in pain, healing, faith, nature, human struggle, and the beauty of transformation. Life itself gives me the stories I paint
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest it into my art career by buying materials, upgrading my workspace, documenting my work professionally, and creating new collections that reach and inspire more people. I’d also use part of it to build financial stability so I can create from a place of freedom, not survival.
