Art is my way of translating pain and imagination into something visible. It allows me to explore the depths of my experience & soul.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I am a multidisciplinary artist. My work spans from traditional painting and sketching to tactile creations like dolls, jewelry, and sculptures. I also specialize in immersive formats like miniature dioramas, glow-in-the-dark art, and experimental moving collages.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the delicate balance between life and death. It can be found in the simplicity of a spider’s web or the complex emotions triggered by a song during a moment of heartbreak. I’m drawn to the small details that others might overlook.
What would you do with $25,000?This grant would allow me to invest in my growth by funding advanced art classes and professional studio supplies. I would also use it to support my family and find renewed inspiration through travel with close friends.
