The Process
Art brewed from the cup
Every painting in the Caffeinated Color series is created using real coffee, tea, and botanical materials — rooibos, hibiscus, clitoria ternatea, calendula, matcha, chicory, and more. These aren't stains or accidents; they're carefully layered washes, grounds, and papers built up over time to create rich, luminous color.
The medium is always evolving. Each brew behaves differently depending on concentration, temperature, and substrate — which means every painting is a discovery.
