The artist who transforms spilled coffee into stunning masterpieces

Giulia Bernardelli was born in 1987 at Mantova. She graduated at the Accademia of Fine Arts of Bologna with a bachelor degree in educational studies.

Starting from an early and natural propensity for drawing and manual composition, she discovers, almost by chance, during a breakfast that the simple coffee stain on the table contains a figurative vocation. All it takes is a simple toothpick to force its boundaries, transforming the stain into a figure and almost miraculously a story is created.

In 2015 she began to keep a graphic diary, using domestic objects that she takes photos of and posts them on Instagram. The compositions that she makes with coffee soon began viral. Her art name, Bernulia, has been appreciated since then from international agencies, magazines and journals.

In 2015 The Washington Post asked her for a cover for the Food insert, thanks to that, she won the award for best cover of the insert in 2015. In 2016, Segafredo, wanted her as interpreter during the big exhibition about impressionism in Treviso.

Giulia Bernardelli’s success has not altered her initial point of view, which is to draw inspiration from everyday life, following Miles Davis’ motto: “My future starts when I wake up every morning. Every day I find something creative to do with my life.”
