Creating art is how I turn my chaos of a brain into something you can feel in real time—meant to be experienced in the room. I love reaction
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I’m a mixed media artist who loves getting my hands dirty and trying new techniques, styles, and methods—always testing my skills and imagination. I create to explore, not to repeat.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in real life—especially in people, their emotions, and their stories. Growing up, I was fascinated by how people think, feel, and love, and I carry that into my work. I want my art to hold emotion—to make people feel something real.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I would pour it back into my art—investing in materials, space, and time to grow without limits. It would allow me to experiment more freely and create work that truly connects with people. I also want to give back by working toward opening a creative space or gallery where emerging artists like myself have a place to be seen, supported, and inspired.
