For me, art is how I experience the world. I’m able to recreate creatures of all kinds. I’m able to capture emotion in objects and pictures.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I like to create things that are fantastical. Things that make you wonder what the story behind it is. Things that provide inspiration to any who see it. My art is not just for me, but for others as well. I like the mystery behind the theoretical. I like the science behind the fiction. From Dragons to buildings. To express such things through painting, sculpture, and photography is what I like to create.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the world around me. In the landscapes I pass through, and in the alleyways I walk past. Everything has a beauty that’s waiting to be seen. No matter the state of being. Life and death, black and white, night and day, and all the in between’s. The world can be a dreary place, but if one just takes the time to notice the small insignificant things, they can begin to understand the wonder of the world.
What would you do with $25,000?I want to continue with my schooling, something that I’ve found the idea of hard to accomplish. I have always wanted to make a career through my art, and wanted to study more to achieve the proper skills. It is my dream to create pieces of art for the people’s to enjoy. To create something that will bring happiness to the owners day. I believe this could be a step towards that dream.
