I do love to create art, but it's more of a need. I don't feel right without a form of creative expression.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Visual art, mixed media especially. I love mixing 3d and 2d elements, and experimenting with new and interesting materials. I relish the challenge of trying something new; though not only if it succeeds, because it doesn't always.
Where do you find inspiration?Music, memories, social media, my brain (if Im lucky), which is all fine and good. But I try not to operate based off inspiration, though it can help, and I would never turn it down. I love this quote by Chuck Close, "Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work".
What would you do with $25,000?I plan to be a creative entrepreneur, exploring as many arts and skills as I can, but mainly I plan to become a tattoo artist. I am attending my dream art college and would use the money to pay for my education. Alternatively, I would save the money to invest in my future plans for running a tattooing business, and space to create or sell my art.
