Zacharevic to paint 7 murals for Oldtown White Coffee
IPOH: Oldtown White Coffee (Oldtown) is teaming up with renowned Lithuanian artist, Ernest Zacharevic to work on the project — Art of Oldtown — a celebration of the shared heritage and history of Ipoh, Old Town and Oldtown White Coffee, a genuine white coffee manufacturer in Malaysia.
…
Zacharevic said: “Ever since I first visited the Old Town, I’ve been touched by how cosy and intimate the town is. Its architecture, culture, food and people have inspire my heart and soul.
“I’d wished to come back and soak in its rich culture and perhaps leave my mark here. I was honoured and excited when Oldtown approached because it has made my dream a reality.
“The residents here have become successful, yet they have not forgotten their roots. I hope to make this beautiful place even more unique with my art.”
