What is your favorite type of art to create?

My work gets compared to abstract because of the shapes and line work. I favor an animated realism to convey characters and symbols to add an informative element to the work. The piece really comes together with my use of bright primary colors allowing the eyes to interpret and concoct an internal visual image. I get lost in creating historical illustrations of old events using strong imagery to Refine and inspire ideas about the pseudoscience esoteric values our ancestors once used to create.

Where do you find inspiration?

My focus and inspiration comes from the important role and mission I am on as an artist. Art is a science where you are exploring ideas and disciplines that are so unique or complex for the common mind then simplifying it to colors and shapes so the viewer can comprehend. I draw from everyday life I find cause in the encounters I have with other art lovers it comes to me in dreams. The natural world around me is my muse people are the conduit that helps it communicate with me.

What would you do with $25,000?

I am a self taught artist I don’t just paint i built my own arts and entertainment company Art Revive. I host and curate art shows for emerging and established artists here in Miramar that money can help kickstart my organization I have done it all financially on my own. I believe in what I do this opportunity can change everything for me i have been told my art is truly something special so is my company and brand. An opportunity like this can expose my work to a national or global audience.
