Description
This captivating testament to the timeless allure of fine spirits, envisioned by Monica, showcases her signature hybrid fluid realism in a 30×48 piece. She masterfully blends photorealistic detail with flowing, abstract elements that suggest motion and transformation.
At the heart of the composition, Monica has rendered an impeccably detailed bottle of Blanton’s, the original single barrel bourbon whiskey. The label and signature horse stopper are depicted with remarkable precision. The warm amber hues of the bourbon mirror the ethereal, fiery backdrop, evoking the spirit’s rich and mellow flavors. The bourbon’s essence spills over into the viewer’s space, with a series of sculptures embodying the vigor and grace of Kentucky’s equestrian heritage.
“Golden Ambrosia: The Blanton’s Edition” came to life with the gracious permission of Buffalo Trace Distillery, the proud custodians of Blanton’s Bourbon heritage. Following its unveiling, the piece quickly captivated art enthusiasts and bourbon aficionados alike, resulting in a sale to a discerning private collector.
To share this exclusive work’s beauty with a wider audience, a strictly limited edition of just 50 reproductions is available. Each reproduction embodies the original’s spirit, offered in one select size only to maintain the integrity and impact of the initial composition. This limited series provides collectors the rare opportunity to own a piece of Monica Marquez Gatica’s celebrated work and a slice of bourbon legacy.
