Arfé


Arfé is the creation of artworks by staining with coffee, and, by extension, the works so created.

The term may have been created by an puertorican artist named Francisco Rivera Rosa, describing his paintings of that type. The word comes from a combination of the words art and café. Thus, arfé is a portmanteau. It is sometimes spelled arfe and pronounced like "barf" by its critics.
