Love the Starbucks Reserve @starbucksph at S’Maison At the Conrad Hotel Manila @smaison_conrad #StarbucksPh #SMaison #H2HStarbucks
Love the art works in the new Starbucks Reserve @starbucksph in @smaison_conrad It’s by Ella Hipolito who uses coffee to paint on her canvas ( Ella H Facebook ) Oftentimes, coffee serves a simple, if utilitarian, purpose: waking someone up. It’s that much needed pick-me-up to get up and get through the day.
It is not so often used as an artistic medium and expression, as one Ella Hipolito boldly does.
To understand her unsual artistic fusion, one must look to the very beginning. Ella’s artistic journey started in her hometown of San Mateo, Rizal. Here, nature was her backyard and animals her steadfast companions. She then went on to study and finish Fine Arts from The College of Holy Spirit.
She continued to cultivate her creative talents over the years, branching out to diverse fields and interests, from music to gastronomy. Ella’s resumé now boasts an eclectic range: artist, musician, chef – all passions-turned-professions.
Coffee on Canvas
Coffee painting is highly conceptual and breathing life into the process is almost experimental in nature. Ella takes great care in choosing and crafting elements and pieces, how they will react and blend with each other. Indeed, brewing her creations takes a certain skill and full understanding of coffee.
The result is a nuanced, textured, and provocative masterpiece of coffee’s journey to art. #PhilippineArt #H2HPhilippineArt #StarbucksPh #H2HStarbucks #CoffeeArt #EllaHipolito #EllaHipolitoCoffeeArt #smaison #StarbucksReservePh
