Probably, Leonardo da Vinci would be surprised if he found out, as soon as his Mona Lisa was not copied. However, we have not yet discussed how to lay out her portrait from cups of coffee. But this is only for now!
Back in July, on the 16th, The Rocks Aroma Festival took place in Sydney, Australia. It is held especially for all lovers of tea, coffee, chocolate and sweets, and every year a sea of tourists come to see the most global, beautiful and always delicious creations of the masters of their craft. Every year the festival gets bigger and bigger, which means that you can see more and more various miracles at it. This year there were even more signs, more tables and of course even more coffee.
Now, finally, let's move on to one of the main wonders of this festival, although, of course, there were many different stands that I wanted to go to and try what the chefs had in store. Before us is a portrait of Mona Lisa, laid out from 3, 604 cups of coffee. Each plastic cup was filled with this divine drink, but there is one peculiarity here. Each cup contains a special amount of coffee, cream and milk to create an exact replica of the famous portrait.
I'm afraid to imagine how much time, effort and liters of coffee was spent on this whole thing, because the portrait is by no means small. You can see how the cups were installed in the video - believe me, there is something to see. For some reason, looking at the photos, I just want to visit this festival or something like that at least once. And not at all because you can drink free coffee or tea there!

Beautiful but meaningless art. Painted Cardboard Cups by Paul Westcombe
Probably no one has such a love for takeaway coffee as an artist from Malaysia called Cheeming Boey. If you remember, we once wrote about his drawings on disposable foam cups, which turn from useless garbage into a work of art.

Landscapes in coffee cups. Creative by Yukihiro Kaneuchi
Some people like to guess on coffee grounds or on tea leaves, on milk froth and on a banana peel … And the young designer and artist Yukihiro Kaneuchi from Japan - on unwashed coffee cups. Only he doesn’t guess, no, he looks out there for new images for his original creations, which are united in the collection "Tiny landscape in the coffee cup". So far, this collection is only in its infancy, but promises to be large and varied
Truth and fiction about Pablo Picasso: how the artist was arrested for stealing the Mona Lisa, and why women fought over him
So many incredible stories happened in the life of the famous artist that now it is extremely difficult to establish which of them actually happened. He himself was prone to hoaxes and each time presented the same fact in a new way, adding new details. There are so many myths associated with the name of Pablo Picasso that many real stories sound like fables
One million coffee beans. One World, One Family, One Coffee: another mosaic of Saimir Strati
This Albanian maestro, multiple "record holder" for mosaics, Saimir Strati, has already been met by the readers of Culturology.Ru on the pages of the site. It was he who created a painting of 300,000 screws and a portrait of Leonardo da Vinci from nails, and also laid out images from corks and toothpicks. And the new mosaic, on which the author is working today, probably cost him more than one hundred cups of strong aromatic coffee, since he lays it out from a million coffee beans
Drawings with coffee mood. Illustrations by Tomoko Shintani on paper and cups from Starbucks
For many creative people, coffee is not only a traditional drink to start the morning, but also the main ideological inspiration. No wonder so many creative works were created thanks to this fragrant muse: a picture of 240 kg of coffee, created by Arkady Kim in Gorky Park, a mosaic of a million coffee beans from Saimir Strati, drawings with footprints from a cup of coffee, and even creatively painted mugs for hot drinks and painted cardboard cups.
