I love to create art as I love life and everything that makes it which inspires me.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love any art I can get my hands on. That means pottery and making sculptures of abstract forms or of the human body. I love to make terrariums and build ecosystems with plants and the substrate, creating small beautiful little worlds. I like painting and writing and making jewelry. I just love making everything for myself.
Where do you find inspiration?Nature, especially human nature. I find it hard to create on my own, meaning I specialize more in realism and having references of life. However, I did create one piece truly from my mind whenever I close my eyes, which is the orange matrix. That one, although you can recognize these pieces going towards a light, and it isn’t anything crazy looking and creative like dragons, it’s a piece that truly connects with me with its confusion of whereabouts.
What would you do with $25,000?Put it in stocks so I can grow it for my farm when I’m older.
