Arfé
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arfé is the creation of artworks by staining with coffee.
The term may have been coined by Puerto Rican artist, Francisco Rivera Rosa, describing his paintings of using coffee. The word comes from a combination of the words art and café. Thus, arfé is a portmanteau. It is sometimes spelled arfe and pronounced like "barf" by its critics. This art is also known as simple as 'Coffee Painting' or 'Coffee Art'.
Artists Mira Chudasama & Amita Chudasama, Andrew Saur and Angel Sarkela-Saur also paint with coffee.
