Beautiful Coffeehouse in Sydney
The owner of this new trendy cafe in Gladesville called me up to design a mural for his new two storey cafe, literally, two doors down from his other cafe.
His vision for Gladesville cafés was something grander, something more luxe than his other venue. Working on this vision was a dream.
We came up with the idea of a coffee estate, sort of a villa looking out onto the fields in the hills and having plant life bustling though the windows.
The same design snakes and winds its way up the stairs and into the upper dining level.
Painting this in the heat wave in Sydney in 42ºC without fans or lights or AC during summer was pretty challenging, but I’m really proud of the outcome with this one.
The words of praise from Elie and his customers’ was humbling when I returned a few months later to see how his cafe made an impact on the locals.
Many of them were surprised and delighted to see a cafe of this calibre in Gladesville.

Meet the Artist
Paphos, CyprusI'm an all-surface illustrator working across analogue and digital spaces. Most of my bold bizarre work is made in ink, that's my specialty. I've also got a reputation for a kamikaze sized work ethic and a creative rigour to match. I'm constantly pushing myself artistically to create his dramatic designs across print, street art, tattoos, surfboards, t-shirts, the digital metaverse and virtual spaces. With a huge network of musician and fellow artist friends, the lines seem to blur between life, art and work through my many collaborations. Drawing for my classmates back in my uni days turned out to be great preparation for the live events and street art that I regularly performs in.
I'm looking forward to meeting you and hearing how we can pull your creative vision to life through the surface of your choice.
