World, meet Vivi Mac, an amazing artist from France who can use
virtually any kind of food to create detailed celebrity portraits.
Although she has yet to display her ephemeral masterpieces in an proper
art gallery, Vivi Mac has already made a name for herself online.
We’ve
featured some amazing food artists on Oddity Central in the past, but
none quite like this one. Karen Eland is a master coffee painter,
Elisabetta Rogai uses wine as her medium, Kelly McCollam uses spices and
food coloring to recreate classic paintings, but the self-taught Vivi
Mac can take anything from chewing gum, to milk or crème brûlée and turn
it into an awe-inspiring portrait. When working with liquids, Mac
uses a simple plastic straw and her hands to guide the unusual mediums
around a plastic tray which acts as a canvas. Just how she manages to
capture the finest facial features is still a mystery to me, and I’ve
seen videos of her doing it dozens of times.
Vivi Mac has never attended art school. She only used online resources
like blogs and Facebook to learn the basics of drawing and painting. She
started out working with pen and paper, but soon realized drawing just
wasn’t creative enough for her. She got into speed painting and body
painting, posting videos of her work on YouTube, but it wasn’t until she
began experimenting with various foods that her art got serious
coverage. Photos and videos of her edible celebrity portraits, like
Bruce Lee in milk, Ice Cube in crushed ice or Amy Winehouse in wine,
went viral on the French inter-webs and transforming Vivi Mac into an
online celebrity.
