아크릴 물감 대신 커피로 초상화 그리는 이라크 예술가
This place could smell like a coffee shop.
But it's actually the studio of Iraqi artist Qasim Sulaiman.
The 22 year-old makes portraits using powder or liquid coffee,... instead of traditional paints.
Sulaiman says coffee was what helped him move forward with his career.
"I am a graduate of a technical art institute, and there are no job opportunities, so I chose to pursue coffee painting as a way to make an income."
But now, the unique tool has made his work stand out, bringing him orders and calls from various artists.
Sulaiman charges 10 to 50 dollars per portrait.
