Since then, Filosa spent $70,000 buying over 200 pieces of art from more than 150 artists around the world.

The collection, which includes pieces by his former professors and his tattoo artists, is displayed throughout his small studio apartment and in a storage unit.

Recently, he has been getting calls from museums around the world who want to host his collection.

 What started as a way to help people afford essentials has now turned into a mission to boost the confidence of artists still trying to break out.
