Erika Somogyi

Brooklynite Erika Somogyi has completely captivated me with her work. Building organic patterns in a kaleidoscope of supernatural, vibrating neon colors, Erica's work explores the unreal in the natural, or to me, the surreal human heart in the midst of the great wilderness of the world.

Working primarily in watercolor and gouache, Erika's pieces have a soft, watery atmosphere about them, that translates into a mystic haze or aura in the work itself. The amount of careful detail in her pieces is delightful and impressive - often figures and shapes are hidden until close scrutiny or a few steps back. The result are pieces that are as evocative in their details as their mood. I would surely keep this on my list of artists to acquire after I make that mint I am so desperately waiting for, but in the meantime, I will be a constant visitor to her digital wonderland...
