Sid Chidiac oil and chocolate painter. Sid began painting with chocolate fifteen years ago in Sydney, Australia. His first creation was The Sunflowers.
While working in a hotel in Sydney trying to support himself through Art School, one of the chefs asked Sid to help him create artwork with chocolate so that the chef can represent Australia and France.
Sid asked him for a slab of chocolate and, after becoming fascinated with the technique of melting and coloring it, created an eight by eight painting of The Sunflowers on top of it. When Sid finished, he couldn't believe his eyes. Holding the painting in his hands, Sid was momentarily torn between staring at this new beautiful work of art, and dealing with the temptation of wanting to chew it. It was a fight between his eyes and his mouth. Ultimately, he chose to keep it as a painting, and thus began his revolutionary idea of painting with chocolate. When he came to New York, he had public exhibitions with these chocolate paintings, and has continued to be very successful, not only in America, but around the world.
