Currently there is a name that is on everyone's lips, it has become very famous, there is no place you go where you don't hear it being pronounced, this name is.... "Baron Ccino". Baron is the first name of an abstract artist who has catapulted to fame thanks to his works of art inspired by the delicious coffee, which have caught people's attention because, let's face it, almost everyone loves coffee and well, the man has talent in his own particular way, I say particular because of the abstract nature of his works, but well, that is his specialty and what makes him different.
It has been announced by various media that Baron will soon hold an art exhibition at the Lei Stacciato museum, where he will leave several of his works open to the public and I'm not going to miss it, I'm very curious about this new revelation of art and his creations. You know, they say that art transmits and although I have already seen one or another of Baron's paintings on the internet and I have found them interesting, it is not the same to appreciate one in person, in addition, he will present works never seen before, which intrigues me.
When the day of the exhibition arrived, I went to the place feeling very excited, I had even bought the ticket in advance in order not to have to wait to buy it on the same day. As the paintings that would be exhibited were all related to coffee, the whole place was impregnated with the delicious aroma of coffee and there were even small stands outside where people sold handmade coffee, a detail that I thought was brilliant. As I entered the museum and walked to the section where Baron's paintings were located, I felt a little shiver run through my body, how impressive they were! All the paintings were scattered all over the place, alluding to abstraction, plus the size of each painting was pretty large. The mix of vibrant colors, the distribution of shapes and figures that formed cups of coffee, coffee beans and everything you can imagine related to coffee, made me feel many sensations, among them happiness, saturation, curiosity, intensity and I was even captivated for a long time.
Each work had a brief description, which I read one by one and when I got to what in my mind was "the final painting", I was perplexed to see next to it a full body photo of Baron Ccino with a brief summary of his life and work. Why was I perplexed?, you may ask, well, my perplexity is because all the photos of Baron Ccino that I had seen were only of his face, I had never seen his body and it turns out that... he has no arms and he paints with his mouth! Do you know what that means? That this man has painted more than 50 super-complicated works of abstract art with just his mouth! What a talent! Now I understand even more why he is so famous, he is a person to be admired.
After learning about that, I went back to see each of the works present to detail them better. Impressive, yes, impressive is all I could think. The detail in Baron's works was delicate, totally exceptional, and the thought that he could achieve such a result with his mouth was astonishing. Of all the works there was one that conquered my heart and became my favorite, it is called "The Spirit of Coffee" and it is a cup of hot coffee surrounded by an explosion of color. It sounds simple, but it is not and one of the reasons why it became my favorite is not only because of how it looks, but because of what it represents. In the brief description of the painting it says "This is one of Baron's earliest paintings, it had not been shown to the public before in order to be a rarity. The painting is very important to our artist as it depicts the cup of hot coffee his mother served him every sunset, at that time when the sun was beginning to set and the sky looked like a festival of warm colors." Beautiful, isn't it?
I spent more than 3 hours in the exhibition, since I could not get out of my fascination and the truth is that I only left because it was getting late and the next day I had to work. When I left, I was gifted with a bag of Baron's favorite coffee plus a coffee mug with abstract figures, all courtesy of the artist himself for his admirers, what a detail, right? My heart feels joyful for having attended that exhibition, I know I will not forget the experience and now Baron has become one of my favorite painters.... Long live art and coffee!
