Painting nurtures my spirit and allows me to be in contact with my inner self; the creative process enhances my quality of life and healing
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
To represent thoughts & feelings via forms, colors, & lines that is why I love painting. Murals, if we have resources (places, materials, money). Picasso created Guernica knowing he will have a large & permanent place to exhibit it. However we need multidisciplinary teams, when technologies are increasing & resources to support the arts are decreasing. I would like to implement collaborative painting research https://www.linkedin.com/in/valente-pancho-saenz-ph-d-842ba871/
Where do you find inspiration?I practice daily meditation, with the intention to connect with the collective unconscious (Jung). I believe currently we are living in similar conditions when artists like Mondrian, Klee, and Kandisky among others were compelled to seek inward for inspiration, spirituality. Our search is inward.
What would you do with $25,000?Invest on fine art prints to reach more people. I would like produce larger paintings since currently working in my one car garage. Travel to visit other cultures and enhance my perspective. Sharing the benefits of making art together, mainly those less fortunate. Art is an essential part of being human, as the scientific community is supporting the positive benefits of the arts for our communities. We should encourage a bottom up strategies to reach marginalized communities via the Arts
