I love creating art, it brings me peace when I need it most. My surroundings fade away and I can express my emotions and imagination freely.
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 to create is painting. Painting gives me a gateway to express my emotions that I sometimes can’t put into words. When painting I express my feelings, movements, and ideas. It allows me to turn my thoughts and emotions into something real and meaningful which I would otherwise push away and not experience at all. My art is me, it’s my trauma, it’s my love, my experience, it’s my life.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from everything, my surroundings, my emotions, especially small moments that most people don’t notice. My inspiration often comes from things I’m going through like memories that I want to let go of or keep forever. Painting helps me turn those feelings into something creative and beautiful.
What would you do with $25,000?if I received $25,000, the first thing I would do is help my family. My parents recently lost their jobs and current source of income. Being able to help them would bless our whole family in ways no one would ever know. I never thought my art could mean anything or help anyone until recently and i believe my art can impact people as well as my family.
