ILLY

Illy Coffee invited me to create an artwork for the 2023 Ernesto Illy International Coffee Awards. Inspired by the lively chocolate and smooth caramel notes of El Salvador coffee, as well as the local flora, I wanted to bring to life the joy of drinking this arabica. Plumes of yucca flowers, marigolds and morning glory burst out of the cup, bringing delight with every sip. I created this animation by hand drawing 29 frames. – watch the animation below.
