The Mona Lisa Coffee Cups

This impressive tribute to The Mona Lisa has been created using 3,604 cups of coffee and 564 pints of milk. The milk was used to produce the different shades of sepia for the coffee by adding a little, or lot of milk. The iconic painting has been brought to life with this strategy, and it seems to have made the project fun and unique so that it appeals to more members of the public.

The completed project has generated a pixel effect that is very intricate and detailed, and furthermore has caught people’s eyes at The Rocks Aroma Festival in Sydney. Not only did each cup have to make a different shade, but had to be filled up to a specific level. Can you believe it only took 3 hours to complete!
