"Buckeful of Coffee, Please" by Elli Maanpää celebrates Finland's love affair with coffee. In this playful acrylic on canvas, a boy with mussed hair holds a comically oversized coffee cup, emphasizing the cultural importance of coffee in Finnish homes. It's said that Finns consume the most coffee per capita globally, and offering coffee to guests is a cherished tradition. Painted in vibrant primary hues of yellow, blue, and red, the artwork captures the boy's longing for a caffeine boost. 
Psst. The Coffee Boy is now also available as a high-quality giclée art print, perfect for coffee enthusiasts and art collectors alike.
