I feel free when I paint. It is the moment when my mind quiets down to focus solely on the creative process of the work.
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 abstract art with textures. I love strong, pure colors. I am self-taught, and I almost always use my hands to paint.
Where do you find inspiration?I draw my inspiration primarily from nature—from images of daily routine—and transform them into colors and textures.
What would you do with $25,000?I am going to divide the $25,000 in the following way: I will donate $15,000 to a non-profit organization in Argentina (where I was born) called “Haciendo Camino” (https://haciendocamino.org.ar), to support two provinces where there are families who struggle to get enough to eat every day. And I will use the remaining $10,000 to set up my painting studio.
