"The Grandma’s Grinder"
Ink and fine pen on textured art paper
104 x 66 cm


A strong memory, the way we live our life day by day - it all comes together as much as each of us can picture it, just like the grinder and grandma. They were inseparable, it was her spiritual instrument how to sparkle other’s life, make them happy with just one cup of this magical bean juice. Her signature and magic of life, her morning coffee and fairy-tale-type of starting her day with magic and mysterious coffee ritual fascinated me and inspired me to put it on canvas, paint it and tell the story with great memories of me as a child spending wonderful time together with her. While I painted it, I couldn’t stop hearing her words: “Now that everything is clean, restored, and dry, it’s time to put it all back together. Assemble the grinder and behold your hard work.” The grinder is the magician and the canvas a story teller which shares my magical memory secret with you for the first time. Let's dive in grinder's music and magic smell of coffee.
