A Coffee Piece For The Coffee Art Project

ADVERTISEMENT

I was lucky enough to participate again this year in the Coffee Art Project and for this occasion, I wanted to create something special. Using coffee both as the theme and the medium for this illustration, I wanted to represent the moment of drinking a cup of coffee and its meaning.

Thoughts, decisions, emotions… go with every sip. Dreams, hope, plans… are implied in every taste. There is not a better feeling than getting lost in this moment. The creative process was long for this one and I tried to choose the perfect reference pictures to show these emotions. At the end I created my own reference picture from three different scenes.

The result was this illustration – “Coffee experience” – done with coffee and brown pencil on watercolor paper (50×70 cm). Hope you like it!

Hello! My name is Nuria and I am a spanish architect and an art enthusiast. For a lot of people art is a hobby, for me as Picasso said -"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life"-, is the perfect medicine for the soul. Discovering my limits as an artist led me to find in coffee the perfect technique to express myself and in drawing portraits, the most appropiate way to awaken "something" in the viewer.

Absolutely amazing work ! The superimposed woman looking out the window , planning her day? daydreaming? reflecting on her surroundings ? leaves me wondering what she's thinking.

How exquisite and detailed! Have you noticed if different brand coffees or coffee strengths work differently than others? Lovely work

Thank you Emily! I work always with water-soluble coffee powder, exactly with the brand Nescafé. I tried to use coffee from a coffee machine and it didn't work as good. As far as the coffee is water-soluble I think it will work. No matter which brand
