Erika Litteral is a talented and robust artist that enjoys bringing surrealism to her work in digital images that can be shocking, funny, and painful while always remaining profoundly beautiful. Her use of pain reminds one of Frida Kahlo, the surrealist, “Female Dali,” and the profound beauty, perhaps, of Dali himself.
Her artistic experience began as a child when visiting the Savannah Cathedral as a Girl Scout. Moved by its glory and not by the chastisement of her peers, her work reveals her religious passion in her work and life.
Erika was a creator and explorer as a child. She arranged and changed her room following different artistic whims, altered her look and style, and created social, public, and popular artistic impressions like one of her favorite artists, Andy Warhol. She would gain a great understanding of art, which would undoubtedly pay off in today’s world of social media.
Drawing people from the unusual to the surreal, Erika creates an enveloping dream world. Perhaps not for the faint of heart but certainly for the adventurer, the free spirit, and the malcontent. If one doesn’t notice the strangeness of this world, how can one appreciate its beauty? Erika brings them together… Soundly and with vigor. Though she doesn’t know which way each idea will lead, when she sees the bright light of inspiration, she follows.
