Chocolate Art: "Identities"
An art collaboration between Billy&Bugga X Mathias Kniepeiss
We are proud to present "Identities", a groundbreaking fusion of visual art and artisan chocolate, born from the collaboration between renowned Austrian artist Mathias Kniepeiss and chocolatier Juliana Hassler, founder of Billy & Bugga Artsy Chocolates.
The "Identities" collection features 12 powerful visual artworks created by Mathias Kniepeiss, each exploring different facets of human identity — strength, fragility, transformation, and diversity. These images have been transferred onto 10x10 cm chocolate bars using advanced digital hand-painting techniques, transforming each piece into an edible artwork.
The chocolate behind the art is "Xodó", a unique blend developed by Juliana Hassler, combining fine cocoa from Brazil and Santo Domingo with a 48.9% cocoa content. It represents the soul of Billy & Bugga — a poetic dialogue between Swiss precision and Brazilian heart.
Each piece comes in an elegant package with a corresponding art card, making it perfect for both collectors and those seeking an unforgettable tasting experience. The collection is limited to 250 pieces per design, making every bar a rare and exclusive treasure.
