Erceg was born in Gornji Rakani, where he attended elementary and high school, graduating in 1966.
He started painting in 1967, while attending the College of Textile - Chemical School in Zagreb, from which he graduated in 1972. In 1986, he enrolled in a painting course at the Academy of Arts in Belgrade, which he attended until 1990.
Beginning in 1973, Erceg worked as an engineer in a textile industry. In her book Slikano perom art historian Danka Damjanović describes Erceg as a painter who developed his talent and style in isolation from other artists, who paints with emotion and expression as a means of cleansing and self-realization. Academician Enver Mandžić attributes Erceg"s sense of color to his training as a textile dyeing engineer
On Erceg"s portraiture, Mandžić says "In every one of his portraits, we can discover those deep emotional traits that are immortalized in the spirit of artists and models."
