Coffee + Art
This technique was registered by the Puerto Rican artist Francisco Rivera Rosa in 1996 , to describe his paintings that used coffee. The word comes from a combination of the words art and coffee. Sometimes it is written as arfé and is pronounced as “barf” by its critics. This art is also known as coffee painting or artffee in English .
Other artists have been using coffee to wash sketches , shadows, and for very dark shades.
The Arfé consists of technically using the pigment of the coffee or its seeds to paint, dye, draw or write. Using the infusion or extract of the coffee seeds makes this product an alternative with a variety of uses.
Creation
The plastic artist Francisco Rivera Rosa was painting in his workshop in Humacao , Puerto Rico while enjoying a delicious cup of red coffee. While painting, the artist observed that his watercolors had been splattered with the coffee ink. He observed that the coffee stains produced contour lines and that the shades of the watercolor pigment changed when mixed with coffee. Since then Rivera Rosa began to paint mixing the coffee ink and the watercolor pigment. After several tests, Francisco Rivera Rosa and Milagros Martínez Schettini carried out an investigation process on the application of coffee ink in Fine Arts . In 1996Both authors registered the Arfé Technique in the Puerto Rico Department of State and in the United States Library of Congress
