I'm delighted to share some wonderful news: I've been selected as Elena Baturina's Founder's Choice for 2025 by BE OPEN Art.
The Recognition
Elena Baturina, founder of BE OPEN Art, has chosen my work as her personal favorite among 2025's artists. This honor comes with a €500 prize and recognition across BE OPEN's global platform — a community of artists, thinkers, and creators working to push the boundaries of contemporary art.
What This Means
BE OPEN Art is a platform dedicated to discovering and supporting emerging artistic voices. Being selected as the Founder's Choice is a profound validation of the sculptural practice I've been developing.
Looking Forward
This selection comes at an exciting moment. With Carrara Soul heading to the Moon later this year and Sunbeam appearing at Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary in March, the work is finding its audience in unexpected ways. Elena Baturina's choice feels like a natural part of that unfolding.
I'm grateful to BE OPEN Art and to Elena Baturina for this recognition. If you're curious about the broader BE OPEN Art community and its mission, you can explore the platform at art.beopenfuture.com.
Thank You
Thank you for following along on this journey. Your support and engagement mean everything as the work continues to evolve and find its place in the world.
