Medium : Coffee/Pigments/Inks
FAQ : What is O Ka-Fée ?
O Ka-Fée is the term concerning all my paintings done with coffee. It concerns the way of painting and of obtaining textures with coffee. It's about projections of coffee, which once in stains on the sheet, undergo injections of pigments. (Powder, colorex, watercolor.)
Textures realized by coffee by drying (more or less sweetened) are unique, they are more interesting than those realized with water.
The coffee is a rather complex medium has to master, it's necessary to know its reactions to be able to manipulate it with pigments, we learn it every day.
O Ka-Fée also concern my graphic style and the whole universe which gets free of it. It's for that the term is my own brand.
Please, respect my universe and work.
/ Version FRFAQ : Qu'est ce que O Ka-Fée ?
O Ka-Fée est le terme concernant mes peintures réalisées avec pour base de café. Il s'agit de la manière de peindre et d'obtenir des textures réalisées par le café. Dans un premier temps ce sont des projections de café dans lesquelles ensuite on injecte des pigments. (Poudres, colorex, aquarelle.)
Les textures réalisées par le café (plus ou moins sucré et selon la marque.) sont uniques, elles sont plus fortes et intéressantes que celles réalisées avec l'eau.
Le café est un médium complexe a maitriser, il est important de connaître ses réactions afin de les manipuler avec les pigments, on en apprend tous les jours de part ce médium.
O Ka-Fée concerne aussi mon univers et style graphique, ce sont souvent des peintures et univers libres, avec du mouvement et de la poésie.
Merci de respecter mon travail et univers.

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactFirst of all: I love this. I really do. It evokes a lot of different feelings all at once. You have your unique O Ka-Fée style (I'd never heard of it until seeing this piece), a traditional Japanese water color and ink, and the haunting story from Life of Pi; well done, truly!
A couple things for you:
This may be a result of the coffee, but the two 'white space' areas on his back/hind-end sort've draw your eyes away a little bit. I see that you continued the red and blue stripes but because of the lack of orange/tan/brown pigment, they seem to be coming out of no where. It really draws my attention away from the color flow...
Speaking of flow, is my impression right that he is swimming/walking in shoulder deep water after the fish? If that's correct, then I love the bleeding of the stripes into the water and taking on the shape of the ripples that would follow.
What was the choice of red and blue for the stripes bleeding toward the back? I /love/ the color palate, but I just don't see the connection of that bright red and teal blue. Could you tell me what you were thinking there? Thank you!
It's a really great piece! I'd love to see it on a parchment hanging on my wall!
