Why I love creating art it gives me a sense of freedom and being able to share my perspective of the world through art.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite type of art to create is drawing (charcoal, graphite, pastels) and oil painting. Within my art I like to mix in textures and different techniques depending on the subject.
Where do you find inspiration?Being outside in nature always sparks something in me. I like to slow down and really take in what’s around me, In that moment, ideas start to come naturally. I take pictures with my phone and capture whatever catches my eye, animals, plants, or even the entire scene. It feels like I’m holding onto pieces of inspiration that I can always come back to.
What would you do with $25,000?I would save the $25,000. It would greatly help me as a starting out artist and to be able to continue creating more art in the future
