South Korean barista uses coffee foam to replicate classic artworks

Posted

More and more coffeehouses are putting fancy leaf or flower designs atop your morning latte, but none can match South Korean barista Lee Kang-bin.

The 26-year-old replicates famous paintings such as Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” and Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” in thick, food-colored cream.

Reuters reports that the result of the painstaking 15-minute "painting" process is a nearly $9 cup of cold coffee that has attracted thousands of followers on Lee's social media accounts.
