I create because I have to. To honor my roots, push every limit and inspire others to build a world of positivity in our community.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Honestly I can’t pick one. I’m a fully independent multimedia artist running every part of the project myself music production, mix engineering, graphic design, photography, videography, web design, marketing. It all moves as one world. If I had the time and a team to delegate, I’d spend most of my time on music production and visual art, painting and drawing especially. But the truth is I love making all of it. Each medium feeds the others. The art is the whole ecosystem, not one piece.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration is a gift, something spiritual we’re born with. It comes from being alive, from perception, from the need to express what existence feels like. But it has to be cultivated, not waited for. Everyone is an artist at something. Our duty as creatives is to take in the world and translate it back so others can feel, connect, be moved. Personally I create to lead by example. To prove someone from nothing can build something real. Art heals. Art connects the human parts of us.
What would you do with $25,000?Hmm My siblings are in their formative years and I’d want to help them with school and stability. I’d also reinvest some in my craft. Treat my creative space, build proper conditions to make even better work more consistently. Whatever’s left would go back into the community. Throwing nonprofit events, supporting other independent artists, pushing the culture forward. The mission has always been to use art to inspire, educate, and connect. This would let me do that on a bit larger scale then now
