“I create art to express what words can’t—turning emotion into something real. I did it out of love; you don’t owe me anything.”
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I’m drawn to creating boxing inspired mixed media pieces and am currently exploring new styles to expand my creativity and push my artistic boundaries
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in boxing, everyday life, and the people I meet, their stories and struggles drive my work, and their reactions when I reveal a piece mean everything to me
What would you do with $25,000?I’m known for saying, “I did it out of love so you don’t owe me anything.” I give most of my work away. Right now I’m creating in my hallway late at night because space, time, and materials aren’t easy. This wouldn’t just help me it would let me create bigger, reach more people, and give back even more to my community.
