The art that I do is more than a creation for me, it is a piece of my soul on paper.
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 kind of art is realism. I love to include every detail in my art, even if it is the smallest. Not only do I spend hours drawing something that I feel passionate about i transport to my feelings, I deliver a part of myself tru my art pieces. Showing that each detail matters even the smallest to complete the art that I am trying to share with the world.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration is simply life, grateful to God who gave me the talent to express myself in such a way or often help someone express themselves with any kind of art. It inspires me to know that people enjoy my art and hold it as much as I do. I am also inspired by my country of Puerto Rico, my beautiful Borinquen. I am inspired by our culture and I love sharing it with the world. There are so many things that inspire me to make art, but the biggest thing is the peace that gives me.
What would you do with $25,000?If I had the honor of winning, I would probably continue my Phycology studies with concentration in art for special education children since I am a college student. I also have a small family of three, which is in my plans at some point is to buy a house and I would probably use some of the money to save and make that other goal a reality.
