ABOUT THE ARTIST
Kassiri Perez is a painter and multidisciplinary artist based in New York City. Their work fuses surrealism and abstraction, often drawing from quantum physics, mental health, and their lived experience as a neurodivergent creative. With acrylic as their primary medium, Kassiri creates atmospheric works that reflect inner states and quiet rituals.
Coffee appears often in Kassiri’s art—not just as an object, but as a symbol of grounding, generational connection, and peace. Whether inspired by a deli cup or a memory, their pieces are thoughtful explorations of how comfort can be held in a single gesture.
Go-to Coffee Order: Grew up on Café Bustelo—now experimenting with vanilla or caramel iced lattes, especially homemade
Coffee Sanctuary: Blue Stockings and Doughnut Plant in NYC. But honestly? Deli coffee still hits different—it’s home in a cup.
