The concept ...

"Art is a living expression of language, imbued with cultural values, technical experiences and historical experiences. It is timeless and transmits different concepts to those who observe it. Thus, much more than decorating, a work of art is a reflective expression that allows one to transpose the observer to different places, imaginary or not. For this reason, I make this process a moment of fruition between the elements and the deepest and purest feelings, in order to achieve in the nuances, shapes and contours, the materialization of the beautiful in what is feels, beyond what the eyes can see" By Érika Oak

​The creation...

​Painting is to let the spirit free and deep concentration and to combine both, music is essential in my work, ranging from Vivaldi's classic to the world of House Music and EDM (Electronic Dance Music). Contrary to what many may think, creative work requires great mental and physical effort, as it takes hours of concentration and uninterrupted work. A necessary method so that the creative process is not lost and so that the technique does not suffer premature drying in the melting of the inks. An artist's vision is to seek quality and create a work that is unmistakable - whether in its figurative simplicity or in the perfection of three-dimensionality - it will always be "perfect" when it reaches the full harmony that is in every detail and finish.
