Art allows me to turn thoughts and experiences into something that can be seen, felt, and shared with others. It’s about expression.
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 tattooing. It’s one of the few forms of art that truly becomes part of you, something you carry for life. It’s not just about creating an image, it’s about translating meaning, identity, and emotion into something permanent. That level of intimacy is what makes it powerful to me.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration for my art in my dreams, in other works of art, and in nature. Dreams give me raw, unfiltered ideas, other artists push me to evolve, and nature provides balance, patterns, and symbolism that I translate into my work.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest it directly back into my craft, and use it to scale my work to the next level: investing in better tools, producing higher quality pieces, and building a stronger presence so my art reaches a wider audience. I would also develop a project that pushes my creative limits and tells a story that resonates. My goal wouldn’t just be growth, it would be transformation.
