ith multiple exhibitions in several countries, painter Erica Hestu Wahyuni has become a familiar face on the international art scene.
Frequent flyers may have glanced or admired Erica’s work displayed at terminal three of the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Banten.
Her artworks feature a colorful and playful style like that of a child and charm collectors, artists and art enthusiasts from all over the world.
“As a self-taught artist, I retained and developed the style that I have had from when I was a kid,” Erica said during an interview.
“Children’s paintings are pure, in drawing and coloring, and I want to keep that pureness.”
In a live Instagram event held by Bartega on June 23, Erica said that growing up, she used to paint as a hobby. During her junior and senior high school years, she was primary focused on her schoolwork, but her love for painting kept her excited for the rare opportunities she was able to practice her craft.
