A pilgrimage of coffee painting

Caocao is a coffee fan who works in a design company. She begins painting pictures via coffee by accident and thus opened a whole new world.
 
Caocao, a girl gifted in painting, is from Baoshan City in SW China’s Yunnan Province. She once asked herself if she can draw via coffee instead of common pigments. Then she received an order for painting for a cafe. By accident, she painted the drawings by using coffee. Unexpectedly, her drawjngs were favored by numerous guests. This is a great encouragement for her to continue the coffee painting.

Caocao is a quiet girl in daily life while she becomes innovative and energetic when it comes to coffee painting. She said that all of the inspirations come from nature and she wants to introduce more people to her hometown—Baoshan, a producing area of high-quality coffee. During her drawing, she is always on her all fours as the canvas is too big. The pose reminds us that as if the creation is a pilgrimage for her. She said that she wants to live in her own way and painting via coffee is the lifestyle she chooses.
