Loteria 2023

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.

*The prints can take up to 8 to 10 business days to print and ship.

This image is a vibrant and whimsical collection of twelve distinct illustrations arranged in a grid, each featuring a different object or character with a label in Spanish. The artwork is inspired by the traditional Mexican game “Lotería,” a popular bingo-like game that uses images on cards instead of numbers.
El Catirín: The first card depicts a well-dressed gentleman in a light gray suit, complete with a hat, tie, and pocket watch. The figure stands confidently, hands on hips, exuding an air of sophistication and poise. The background is a soft pink, providing a gentle contrast to the more muted tones of the suit.
El Gallo: The second card showcases a colorful rooster, or “gallo,” in a proud stance. The rooster’s feathers are meticulously detailed, displaying a vibrant mix of red, yellow, green, and blue. The background is a bright red, which complements the rooster’s vivid plumage, making the image pop.
El Sol: The third card features a radiant sun with a human face, evoking a sense of warmth and life. The sun’s golden rays extend outward in a circular pattern, illuminating the entire card. The background is a light blue, enhancing the feeling of a clear, sunny day.
La Luna: The fourth card presents a crescent moon with a serene face, surrounded by stars and red shooting stars. The moon is depicted in a classic, almost vintage style, and the background is also light blue, symbolizing the night sky.
La Corona: The fifth card shows a royal crown adorned with colorful jewels and intricate designs. The crown is a symbol of authority and regality, sitting against a pink background that highlights its ornate details.
El Corazón: The sixth card depicts an anatomically detailed heart, rich in red tones, with branching arteries and veins. The heart is surrounded by a wreath of flowers and leaves, adding a touch of nature and life. The background is yellow, symbolizing warmth and energy.
La Calavera: The seventh card features a decorated skull, or “calavera,” often associated with Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations. The skull is adorned with vibrant flowers, creating a beautiful contrast between life and death. The background is a striking red, emphasizing the festivity and tradition.
La Rosa: The eighth card shows a single red rose with lush, green leaves. The rose, a universal symbol of love and beauty, stands out against a pink background. The simplicity of this image evokes a sense of elegance and romance.
La Estrella: The ninth card depicts a golden star with sharp, defined points. The star is a symbol of guidance and aspiration, shining brightly against a red background. This image conveys hope and dreams.
La Bota: The tenth card features a tall, black boot with intricate stitching and a fur-lined top. The boot is detailed and sturdy, suggesting protection and adventure. The background is a bold yellow, creating a striking contrast with the dark boot.
La Dama: The eleventh card presents a lady in a Victorian-style dress, complete with puffed sleeves, a high collar, and an elaborate hairstyle. The dress is a deep blue, and the background is also blue, creating a cohesive and elegant appearance. The lady stands with grace and dignity, reflecting a sense of historical refinement.
La Mano: The twelfth and final card shows a hand holding a red rose. The hand is adorned with a lace cuff and delicate jewelry, suggesting sophistication and care. The background is yellow, emphasizing the tenderness and beauty of the gesture.
Each card in this collection is meticulously designed with bright colors and detailed illustrations, creating a playful yet sophisticated homage to the traditional Lotería game. The combination of classical elements with modern, vibrant artistry makes this image both nostalgic and contemporary, celebrating cultural heritage with a fresh, artistic perspective.
