BomberStyles loves art because it turns pain into power, story into style, and survival into something people can appreciate and understand.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Your favorite type of art to create is black‑and‑grey, gritty, hyper‑realistic storytelling pieces
Where do you find inspiration?I pull inspiration from my lived experience—growing up in systems, surviving trauma, rebuilding identity, and finding purpose through creation. My art comes from testimony, street culture, and the belief that healing becomes possible the moment a pencil hits the page.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I’d expand my BomberStyles Healing Through Art program—fund supplies, securing the space, build more curriculum, and create free trauma‑informed classes for youth and adults. The money would turn my story into an opportunity for people who struggle with ptsd depression and other mental health conditions giving those that need a chance and an avenue for healing and interpersonal transformations.
