Faith – Scared Heart
$28.00 – $740.00
All my work is done using the technique called collage (from the French coller), which translates “to paste,” which is an artistic technique that consists of the construction of plastic works through the agglomeration or conjunction of pieces or cutouts from different origins, “trying” to give a unified tone format. In other words, it is about assembling work with bits obtained from other sources such as photographs, illustrations, Artcraft, images in magazines, and everyday objects.
On a personal level, my artistic style is deeply rooted in Kitsch, a style known for its vibrant colors, bold shapes, and striking elements. I often incorporate illustrations from the public domain into my work. My fascination with antiquities and furniture is a recurring theme, evident in the costumes of my characters and the environments where my works’ narratives unfold.
My image sources can include images and cuttings from very old magazines that are passed through a scanner to be processed into digital format. Therefore, it is very possible that the final prints do not have uniform images and can have different textures.
Creations by Erika C. Brothers are printed on Velvet Fine Art paper, which is heavyweight, cotton fiber, and acid-free. The prints use high-quality inks and cotton paper for a realistic look and feel like original photography oil paintings.
The definition of a giclee is a beautiful, long-lasting technology for fine art or photograph reproduction. It uses a high-quality inkjet printer to make individual copies of different sizes and materials.

This image presents a visually striking and symbolically rich composition centered around themes of faith and spirituality. The central figure of the artwork is a vivid red heart, symbolizing love, passion, and the core of human emotion. This heart is meticulously depicted with a smooth, glossy texture, making it the focal point of the image. The use of red ensures that the heart immediately captures the viewer’s attention, symbolizing vitality and intensity.
The heart is adorned with a small crown resting atop it, reinforcing its significance and elevating it to a symbol of royal or divine importance. The crown, often associated with authority and sovereignty, suggests that the heart is a seat of power and nobility, emphasizing the idea that faith is both a personal and transcendent force. The crown is intricately detailed, adding an element of classical elegance to the image.
Attached to either side of the heart are small, delicate wings. These wings imply themes of transcendence and spiritual elevation, suggesting that faith has the power to lift and carry one beyond the mundane and the earthly. The wings are rendered with fine detail, each feather carefully illustrated, adding a sense of lightness and grace to the overall composition.
Above the heart, within the ornate frame, is a banner with the word “FAITH” prominently displayed. The banner is styled in a manner reminiscent of classical heraldry, adding a sense of timelessness and tradition to the message. The word “FAITH” is written in bold, capital letters, ensuring it stands out clearly. The positioning of the banner above the heart suggests that faith is a guiding principle, elevating and protecting the heart.
The heart and banner are set within an elaborate, ornamental frame. This frame is characterized by intricate floral patterns and symmetrical designs, providing a sense of harmony and balance to the composition. The use of such a frame adds a touch of classical beauty and sophistication, reinforcing the timeless nature of the themes being explored.
Below the heart is an elegant urn, out of which flowers and leaves are gracefully flowing. The urn and its floral contents symbolize life, growth, and the nurturing aspect of faith. The detailed rendering of the flowers and leaves adds a natural beauty to the image, suggesting that faith, like a garden, requires care and cultivation to flourish.
Flanking the urn are two cherubic angels, each holding one side of the urn. The angels are depicted in a traditional, classical style, with serene expressions and finely detailed wings. Their presence adds a heavenly or divine dimension to the image, reinforcing the idea that faith is not just a human attribute but also a divine gift. The angels appear to be in a state of reverent worship or guardianship, suggesting that faith is something precious and protected by the divine.
The background color is a soft, muted blue, which complements the vibrant red of the heart and the intricate details of the frame and other elements. This choice of color adds a calming and serene quality to the image, enhancing the overall sense of peace and spirituality.
