A Café of Connections: Finding Inspiration in Unexpected Places

Chance encounters during travels often reveal new worlds and perspectives, and meeting Isa Seyran was one such experience. On a visit to my daughter, we discovered Isa\’s Mediterranean coffee truck, nestled in a serene courtyard. Isa, an artist at heart and a passionate lover of poetry, dreams of turning his café into a hub for artistic collaborations and deep discussions. His story, from the slums of Istanbul to waiting on dignitaries in America, is as inspiring as his vision. Isa\’s café is a warm, welcoming space where minds and hearts connect, a much-needed refuge in our disconnected world.

As It Is

What a marvel of nature! Every petal, every leaf, every stem flawlessly created in a few, simple strokes with ease by the greatest artist that lives.

Sketched True
