Maria Aristidou, 27, is an excellent artist who uses coffee stains as paint, which has attracted a lot of attention. She calls her paintings "coffee art", and many British people have become her fans because of her paintings.
Maria received a bachelor's degree in fine arts from Manchester City University in the UK and a master's degree in MA from the University of Central Lancashire. Maria has had a great talent for painting since she was young. "I started writing when I was very young. When I first picked up a pencil when I was a child, I began to draw on the walls of my mother's bedroom with a pen."
The art of coffee was inspired by an accidental discovery by Maria earlier this year. That day, Maria accidentally spilled coffee everywhere and soiled the work she was working on. When Maria was anxious, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the coffee stains on her clothes were very beautiful. "I was fascinated by a pool of coffee stains on my clothes, which fascinated me so much that I began to want to open up a new art form. I've been trying, and then I have what you see now, and this is what I call the art of coffee! "
Maria is immersed in making "coffee paintings" for her favorite people, characters and animals. she often studies a series of themes, and her recent inspiration comes from British dignitaries around her. In order to achieve a better creative effect, she mixed five different coffee admixtures into the water according to the theme on display, and then poured the coffee liquid into her color palette, a highly technical process. The rest is what she is best at-bringing characters and themes to life on paper.
In terms of subject matter and theme, Maria loves the field of pop culture and celebrities. She is also obsessed with integrating design, Internet trends, social media platforms, movies and music. From her works, people can strongly feel her enthusiasm for work.
