Emitting a feeling. Entering a new world. Ultimately I can only try to imitate what I imagine.
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 visual art. I like to visualize what I feel, whether that comes in the form of colors, shapes, movements, textures or even words. Drawing and painting have accompanied me ever since I can remember & became an inseparable part of who I was, until they weren’t. A period which lasted for about 5 years. In the absence of expressing my art, I understood how important it was to me, and that’s why I finally decided to push every limit of my creativity without any expectations
Where do you find inspiration?Feelings. People. Stories. Humanity. The extraordinary and ordinary. The paradox that we live in our day to day lives. The simplicity of life and inexplicable concept of creation. A moment of desperation and a moment of liberation. Those are what inspire my heart and if I can find a way to give it life, a form and visual characteristic, a way to evoke that same energy that ignited inside me to the next person, then I have accomplished my mission.
What would you do with $25,000?I would utilize the $25,000 to further invest in my artistic journey, workshops, residency, materials, which would further my career a lot faster! :))
