I love to create artwork because it helps me express my ideas, feelings and beliefs in a visual way. It’s a way I can escape reality.
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 paintings I do is mainly self portraits. I get inspired by Frida Khalo as I mainly gear towards surrealism. I also really enjoy fashion sketching as well as sewing as I think fashion is a walking piece of artwork.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from art history as well as modern artists today. I also just take the emotions that I feel and translate them to a canvas.
What would you do with $25,000?With the 25,000 I would pay off college. As it would take some of the financial burden off from my dad. I am currently a college freshman and I’m the first generation in my family to attend college so this money could really help me graduate with a degree.
