Have you ever seen a picture painted with coffee as paint?
The world famous painting "Mona Lisa" has been copied and transformed by countless painters. Dadaist artist Duchamp added a beard to the protagonist Mona Lisa, and now American artist Karen Ilan has created the Mona Lisa coffee version with coffee, which has aroused a strong response in the art world.
It's just that the coffee cup in the painting is painted by coffee? No, this painting is completely painted with coffee, not just a coffee cup in the painting.
It took Karen nearly seven months to create the Mocha Lisa. She uses freshly baked coffee mixed with water as a pigment, smears layers on the paper to form shadows of different shades, and puts it flat to dry.
It is reported that "Makarissa" is not the first time Karen has painted with coffee, and she has also made many "coffee versions" of world-famous paintings, including portraits of Prince William and his wife's engagement. Karen's Coffee painting once sold for $15000, and the enthusiastic response from the market made her confident about her future creation.
Karen says she has always been a coffee lover and that the inspiration for using coffee as a paint came from an experience in 1998. At that time, she was drinking coffee and creating watercolors in a coffee shop in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The different colors of different flavors of coffee inspired her creation, and "Coffee painting" was born.
In fact, this is not the first "passionate collision" between this world-famous painting and coffee. In 2009, artists created a giant portrait of the Mona Lisa with 4000 cups of lattes, black and white coffee at a Rock area Coffee Festival in Sydney Harbour, Australia.
Maybe you think coffee is only brown, only dark or light colors. In fact, a kind of color is enough to show the thousands of gestures of color in the change of light and shade. Coffee has become a source of inspiration in the hands of creative painters!
