Luis Madrid:

The idea of painting with coffee was born accidentally, my sister lives in the coffee region of Colombia, a space framed between three capital cities Armenia, Manizales and Pereira in which coffee production in Colombia is mostly concentrated, spending a few days there and living next to a coffee roaster, olo made me fall more in love with our national drink.On one occasion I had bought material to work with, watercolor paper, and I accidentally dropped coffee from my cupboard onto a sheet. To save the sheet, I only found a brush nearby and I noticed the multitude of sepia-like tones that were there as a blessing. The rest is the story. to perfect the technique by adding some materials such as inks and achieve watercolor.

Echoes of Emotion: The Expressionist Art of Luis Madrid

Luis Fernando Madrid López's artworks embody the spirit of expressionism, where emotions are not just depicted but felt. Each piece, crafted in bright, fluid watercolor shades, captures the essence of expressionism with its blend of abstract and figurative elements, emphasizing the raw emotional power through vivid colors and dynamic shapes. As Robert De Niro said, "You don't need words to express your feelings." These paintings scream, cry, and moan, portraying the spectrum of human emotions from despair to ecstasy, much like coffee which, as Jackie Chan notes, "is a language in itself." In embracing expressionism, Luis Fernando's work focuses on the emotional impact over precise detail, using color and contrast to evoke feelings of horror, fear, delight, and more. These artworks are not just seen; they are experienced, speaking directly to the viewer in the universal language of emotion.
