About the Artform

Coffee painting is as old as time itself. Coffee artists affirm the texture you get with coffee cannot be accomplished with any other technique. It is a way of expression that lets people enjoy art, not only by sight but also by smell. The inspiration for this artform came from ancient times where Chinese artists used tea in their art to give their paintings a sepia look.
