View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Nathanna ÉricaAbout Nathanna Érica : Nathanna Erica is an artist who works with paper art, illustration, and visual development. After five years of Law school, she decided to pursue her true passion: telling stories with her colorful artworks. It's known to be a blessing to love what you do, and Nathanna has found just that when she became an artist. She was granted the honor of designing the 2017 Official Christmas Stamp of Correios do Brasil, which is among philatelic collections all around the world. Being born in a diverse and complex country made her aware of cultural differences and the importance of their acknowledgment and appreciation, and these themes are frequently seen in her art. On social media, she has garnered a number of fans from top animation studios in the US and her works can be found in specialized magazines and children's books.
Whenever I think about art, the thing that first comes into mind are the endless possibilities of conveying a message, an opinion, an emotion. Every time I start creating a new piece, I feel like I'm playing a part in a film or on stage. It allows me to put myself in that specific situation and tell the story I need to tell. Art is such an important aspect of people's lives. It pains me to see that, when in a precarious situation - when a society starts facing an economic crisis or any other kind of disruption - works of art are the first thing to be put aside and be considered superfluous, a luxury. Especially in developing countries, art is more often than not unaffordable and even the habit of going to museums and being in contact with art is restricted to a very small percent of the population. That reality is terribly costly in such countries, where universal access to education still is a distant dream and inequality is the constant enemy. So for me, art is as vital to a person's soul as food and water are to their bodies. An enthralling book, a captivating song, a masterful painting, all these examples confirm that art really is the food of the soul. Art nourishes our spirit, expands our horizons and helps us fill our ever-present existential void.
