Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

Italian artist Giulia Bernardelli is a true creative, in the sense that they can make something out of nothing. All of the best artists have that in common.

The beautiful works that she creates are crafted from one of the most unlikely sources that you could possibly imagine. She utilizes spilled coffee and a wide range of other liquids, as hard as they may be to wrap your mind around.

This is not a medium that she came up with on her own. Like many forms of artistic inspiration, she came into the idea by accident. She spilled some coffee one day and eureka!

A new form of creative expression was born on the spot. We are undoubtedly selling her work short here, though. It’s too intricate to put into words but we will try our best.

The level of attention to detail is out of sight. She draws inspiration from a number of different sources, including her own travels. Pop culture, fine art, and home life are all major influences on her works, as well.

“Drawing with coffee was a creative coincidence. One day I was drawing and having my coffee at the same time. Suddenly, I moved my hand too quickly and tipped over my cup. The natural coffee stain inspired me, so I picked up the spoon and made it my brush,” she says in the video below.

At least she is honest! A lot of people would have claimed to have come up with this idea on purpose.

She doesn’t stop at coffee, either. She’s also tried her hand at other, more intentional, spilled items, such as tomato sauce:
