Coffee Divination and Painting One of the first stimuli of my childhood was the coffee divination. I remember my mother looking forward to the arrival of her friend, the "tribal witch" who, if only she had the inspiration, would "read" her coffee. Usually I wasn't in front, but many times he told me the coffee too. I remember her saying to me: do you see this? It's a road, do you see that? It's a door. Do you see the other one? It is a first name. As a lover of science, I can't say that I believed in this, but I learned to see forms, shapes in an amorphous mass. Many years later, I like to do the same in painting. To usually apply fluid material to a surface, such as ink or watered acrylic, and observe forms on it, keeping them untouched or helping them emerge a little, with as little intervention as possible. Thus the work will contain the element of chance as a basis, but will ultimately be shaped by a subtle but crucial human intervention. #coffeedivination #soothsaying #tasosperachoritis #pittasso #compulsiveart #expressionismdrawing #handmadeart #magic #artcollector #oeuvre #originalartwork #existance #collectart #artwatcher #artlover #floatintime #artcurator #curator #emptymind #PrimitiveArt #abstractart #handmadear (at Athens, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/CivJr_lrAy9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
