| Erika Litteral, a gal from Fayetteville, Georgia, is a talented and robust artist. She brings 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 most fabulous artistic experience was visiting Savannah Cathedral as a Girl Scout. Moved by its glory, she exclaimed, "Oh, my God," But to revel in the joy of discerning such beautiful Paintings, her peers chose to try and belittle her. The chastisement didn't break the spell. One can sense this religious passion in her work and life.
A creator and explorer as a child, Erika, arranged and changed her room following different artistic whims, altered her look and style, and created social, public, and popular artistic impressions in the like of one of her favorite artists, Andy Warhol. She would gain a great understanding of social-art, which would undoubtedly pay off in today's world of social media. |
