Apparently, in order to sometimes create something beautiful, it is better to do something else in life. For example, the Dutchman Siebe Warmoeskerke dreamed of becoming a carpenter all his life, and suddenly came to the idea that he could make amazing photographic still lifes from spilled coffee and cookies. As a result, we got one of the most interesting photographers in the Netherlands.
Coffee, coffee art - all this we associate primarily with those guys who paint with coffee, such as Radislav Tszyuba and his amazing paintings, or one of the many coffee-loving artists Dirceu Veiga. But photos of Siebe Warmoeskerke spilled coffee (more precisely, ready to spill in a moment) is also a real coffee art, albeit in a slightly different sense.
Siebe was born in the Dutch town of Bergen-op-Zome, and all his life he dreamed of becoming a carpenter. And he became it. He became interested in photography in 2006. Then it was a simple digital camera. Over the years, he has become one of the best photographers in the Netherlands, without joining any studio or taking any courses, learning everything on his own.
Looking at his still lifes with spilled coffee and cookies, several things change in you: firstly, you really want a cookie, and secondly, you begin to see the beauty of a simple drop. Rain, tap water, coffee - all the same. The most interesting thing is that this is the most atypical and at the same time the brightest project of the Dutch photographer.
His website has tons of information about Siebe Warmoeskerke, even links to his last.fm account. And of course, all his works: amazing landscapes of frosty grass, shooting on the streets of San Francisco, Antwerp and other cities, and, of course, there was a place in his portfolio for a few drops. spilled coffee and a couple of cookies.
