Because I can show the people how I see the world, art is the place where I can create with no limits, where I can show my true self.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Started with pure paper and pencil, inspired by my mom's guidance. Then, with the advandce of time and tech, I learned digital art. Now, inspired by all of the existent fictional worlds, I create my own characters, using all the tools at my reach. My current process is, drawing everything by hand, sketching around my day to day. Then, take pictures and use procreate to do all the fine lines and coloring. Finally, I use Instagram to post the results.
Where do you find inspiration?In all the media I consume, videogames, books, comics, movies, etc. But recently, inspiration started to come from my life stories, being in a place where I was not expecting, my own comic started to whisper and then I picked up my pencil, created a character that lives constant adventures daily.
What would you do with $25,000?I would donate one part to the church, another to my family and the remaining to support my art career. I want to grow my Instagram profile and show the world how I see it.
