The Artist Inspired by Greek Mythology on The Wrighter

June 28, 2012 - PRLog -- Erika Meriaux is featured on The Wrighter this month as it continues its discussion on the auctioning of Edvard Munch’s “The Scream.”  The Wrighter’s tribute features will continue through the rest of summer 2012.  

“My interest was aroused by visiting museums in France where interpretations of classic myths appear throughout the artwork of many old masters.” Meriaux explains, as she touches on why she is inspired by Greek myths.  “All the details of human nature and the human condition are enclosed in its stories; it gives artists the opportunity to explore a large field of subjects while at the same time enabling them to keep their focus on a unique body of work.”

This tribute to “The Scream” was created in May, after the record breaking auction, featuring two artists per week. Meriaux is the twelfth artist featured in the series and shares images of some of her favorite work.  

When asked about a favorite work of hers, she replied, “Deciding which paintings are my favorite might vary with my mood or with the things I have experienced. Sometimes it might be a technical challenge I had to overcome, or just the pleasure I felt in making it. Making art is also a way to entertain myself.”

Wright, creator, contributor and editor of The Wrighter, is a California native who earned her BA degree in Journalism from the California State University, Fullerton.  She has created several art series, including, “Fractured,”  “Cali Free,” “Eleven Twenty-Three Girl” and most recently, “Kobiphysics” which exhibited at the Huntington Beach Central Library in April 2012.  Wright is also a featured artist on the online gallery, America Fine Art (https://www.americafineart.org/Kobina).
