  Wine can also be used as a raw material to paint paintings, making it the only work of art that can be drunk.


  Painting with wine is characterized by its monochrome style, in which the artist can express himself in any of his challenges in the visual arts.

  The wine gives the possibility of a range of colors in its oxidation: reds, rubies, purples, grays, blues, purples, browns ... or whites and sparkling wines, with their shades of amber to oranges.

The goal is simply to take advantage of the wine its behaviors and its watercolor qualities.


Winerelle is how the art of painting with wine is known. This discipline seems to have started accidentally, during the painting process and while the artist takes a sip of wine and spills it on the canvas.

Some of the artists in the curious technique of painting with wine:

Sanja Jankovic is a Serbian artist with a degree in Fine Arts and specializing in painting, she can be considered a forerunner of this art. "The wine changed over time and makes you feel like your paintings are alive."

José del Olmo, a retired banker and former nature lover, has become an artist of this little-known painting technique. The sugar and acids possessed by this ancient fruit, the Vitis vinifera (grape), are the protagonists of his curious "vinorelas".



Jorge Martorell, Argentine Architect and Graphic Designer. Passionate plastic artist who discovered wine to paint after dropping a glass of wine on the canvas he was painting.

Nora López Millán , art teacher and an artist who uses sediment or deposits from the maturation of wine to give life to her works.

Francisco Martínez Moreno, from Córdoba, is known as the inventor of "vionorelas", a variation of watercolor made with wine instead of water.

Jabier Goyoaga Sarabia, an artist who uses vegetable tins in his works, where wine intervenes.


Wine a delight for the palate and a fresh breath in the art of painting !!
