Meet Gelila Kahsay, The Self-Taught Artist Who Crafts Amazing Art With Coffee

We have come across many artists but Gelila Kahsay seems to be far different as her arts are created with coffee rather than the common materials used by others in her field.

Talented Gelila Kahsay is a young habeshan, self-taught artist who is best known for her impressive acrylic paintings and even more impressive coffee art.

According to Gelila, her biggest inspiration is “the greatest art work of all: Nature” – and she loves spending time alone in nature, soaking up all its artistry.

While a lot of her acrylic work is abstract – she tries to paints her feelings and emotions – her coffee art typically involves portraiture of people she looks up to and important world events.
