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.  :)

It's a beautiful piece of work. the colors pop nicely with the coffee background. The water and the brown background blend together nicely, and seem distort the body of the dragon in a way that makes it slightly more be realistic. And yet still give it a fantasy look and quality. The closed eyes give the dragon a serein and tranquil look, as if it were resting quietly on a beach.

Though the only thing striking me as odd about this piece is the arm resting on the body. I can tell in areas where the dragon curlers onto itself, but I don't know if it stretched out, or beginning to curl onto itself again.

overall however, it is a very striking piece of art.
