This Serbian Artist Paints with Wine

Most wine lovers “eat with their eyes.” We see the grape color, gauge the opacity, and scrutinize the rim. Serbian artist Sanja Jankovic eyes with her eats. That is, she uses wine to paint pictures.

Visit her website or Facebook page and you can see how she tackled everything from family portraits to classic Renaissance paintings to modern celebrities. With minimal brushstrokes, she brings to life characters like Game of Thrones’“the Hound” (Sandor Clegane played by Rory McCann)—her favorite character—and Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage).

Check out how the texture of McCann’s hair and beard contrast with his armor, marvel at the surprisingly smoldering seductiveness in Jankovic’s Marilyn Monroe, and note that her Mona Lisa manages to retain the enigmatic smile—a detail that, if fumbled, can make the lady look unintentionally dopey or menacing.
