In Armenian, ‘Kaper’ (Կապեր) means ‘connections’. The title refers to the lines and structures in coffee grounds that flow seamlessly into one another and appear to be interwoven. These visual interconnections can be interpreted as a metaphor for human relationships and the interdependencies of life. The works in this series begin, in part, with a realistic style of painting and are gradually abstracted through the process using curved, ribbon-like forms.

Erika Barsegian
In coffee grounds reading, the patterns that emerge in the dregs of a cup are traditionally used to provide insights into the past, present and future. Erika, however, goes beyond this symbolism. For her, the patterns are not merely signs to be interpreted, but rather complete images that tell a story of their own. She captures the feeling she experiences when looking at the cup and translates this into her art. This often results in works that begin realistically but become completely abstract as the painting process progresses.
It
is therefore worth taking a closer look at the paintings, as hidden symbols sometimes reveal themselves that are not visible at first glance.
