“BARISTA” – 48” X 30” – Acrylic and mixed media.
This piece was created for Claude through his wife Isabelle. This character welcomes their guests in their beautiful home to enjoy a flavourful cup of espresso. Claude loves great coffee! In his left ear, we find an image of a hipster BARISTA. In his collar, a burlap coffee sack brought back from my last trip to Puerto Vallarta Mexico. We can also discover articles of “where to find the best coffee in the world” and the definition of BARISTA (meaning barman in Italian).
Background: Burlap sack, newspaper articles, map of Montreal metro, etc.
