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 most alive when I’m creating opulence you can feel—mixed media pieces that drip in texture, light, and emotion. Crystals, gold, pigment, all layered into something immersive and a little intoxicating. I don’t just make art to be seen—I build moments that pull you in and refuse to let go.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere—but especially in the tension between fantasy and reality. Spirituality, mythology, fashion, late-night conversations, a certain kind of chaos… I’m inspired by anything that feels alive and a little dangerous. I collect emotions, textures, moments—and translate them into something you can see, feel, and almost step inside.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d turn it into momentum. Part goes straight into the work—materials, larger canvases, pushing scale and detail further than before. Part fuels a statement moment: a tightly produced, immersive exhibition that feels undeniable. The rest builds the machine—content, press, collector experiences. Not spending—multiplying!
