Starbucks supports sustainable coffee farming by sourcing coffee
beans ethically. Starbucks ensures that biodiversity is well
preserved, so farmers and the wildlife can coexist
harmoniously.
This practice creates a unique blend of
flavors that reflects the rich biodiversity of our planet. Join

About the artist

Sashtri Vivekanandan is an Indian-Malaysian urban artist who
has made a name for himself in Malaysia's street art scene.
Starting as a graffiti artist over a decade ago, Sashtri's
passion for sketching and painting grew from humble
beginnings, where he used basic spray cans due to financial
limitations. Despite facing skepticism and challenges, his
dedication led him to develop a unique artistic style that
resonates with a diverse audience. In 2012, he graduated
from Raffles International College Singapore with a degree
in
Visual Communications, which further fueled his career as an
urban artist.
One of the defining moments in Sashtri’s career came in 2016
when he had the opportunity to sketch and deliver a portrait
of the famous Superstar Rajinikanth. This milestone
solidified his commitment to his craft, pushing him to
explore new heights. Sashtri has since worked on various
projects, creating vibrant wall art for businesses, offices,
and
cafes across Malaysia and Singapore. Known for his ability
to capture client visions with precision, Sashtri continues
to leave a lasting impact on urban spaces, showcasing his
talent and creativity.
