Yerka was pressured by his teachers at his univeristy to create more detailed, realistic works because that's what was acceptable or in fashion at the time. I believe that this rebellion is what caused his very surreal paintings. I couldn't find a lot of information on this artist. he was born in 1952 and became a more recognized artist in 1980. Through his works he is able to create fantasy worlds that are all his own. He does pay a lot of attention to detail which grabs the viewer and pulls them into the paintings.
