"Kahve" is a still life of a traditional Turkish coffee pot, small in size, but bold in presence. Made of copper or brass, this pot brews kahve, a thick, strong coffee that’s deeply rooted in Middle Eastern culture.

Originating from the Ottoman Empire, kahve is more than a drink. It’s a ritual of connection, conversation, and hospitality. From bustling bazaars in Istanbul to quiet homes in Central Asia, sharing coffee is a daily tradition across much of Asia.

This painting honors that warmth, strength, and cultural richness in a single, potent cup.
