I love to create art because it gives me the purest form of freedom. You don’t have to be in a specific place or have specific things.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite type of art is when I mix medias. Often water color and acrylic on the same paintings. Anything with bright colors makes it my favorite.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration sometimes in music but more often in meditation. When I can sit, clear the stress of the day out of my mind, and open it to endless ideas.
What would you do with $25,000?With 25,000 I would open up an art studio coffee shop. My favorite thing is to have a cup of coffee or tea while creating works of art. There’s a peacefulness in it that I can’t find anywhere else and I’d want to share that with people. Id love to have it be a place for anyone to create, admire, and experience the wonders of all art forms.
