FAQ : What is O Ka-Fée ?
O Ka-Fée is the term concerning all my paintings done with coffee. It concerns the way of painting and of obtaining textures with coffee. It's about projections of coffee, which once in stains on the sheet, undergo injections of pigments. (Powder, colorex, watercolor.)
Textures realized by coffee by drying (more or less sweetened) are unique, they are more interesting than those realized with water.
The coffee is a rather complex medium has to master, it's necessary to know its reactions to be able to manipulate it with pigments, we learn it every day.
O Ka-Fée also concern my graphic style and the whole universe which gets free of it. :)

That's a very interesting project you have there. I rally like the brown in the background, almost like some sort of parchment. Gives the painting a very traditional hue. Also amazing how sprsel you seem to use a paint brush to define outlines, those rather blurry lines make the picture very asian.
