Luxury, emotion, and storytelling—these are at the heart of Monica Fine Art. But what happens when that artistry takes on a whole new medium? The answer is nothing short of delicious. We are thrilled to announce a one-of-a-kind collaboration between Monica Márquez Gatica and Selene Arteaga, renowned chef and owner of Sabor e Arte, where six of Monica’s favorite paintings are transformed into an edible art gallery experience.
The Concept: When Art Becomes Dessert
Selene’s culinary genius lies not only in creating fine flavors but in turning food into art. With her deep appreciation for Monica’s paintings, Selene envisioned something extraordinary—art you could eat. Using food-safe ink and rice paper to replicate Monica’s paintings, she framed them in intricately designed cookie borders, sculpted and decorated by hand. The only non-edible element? The miniature wooden easels that elegantly display each masterpiece.
These edible creations embody the shared values of both Monica and Selene: the celebration of life, craftsmanship, and the beauty of meaningful moments.
The Edible Masterpieces
Each cookie is a testament to both Monica’s artistic narrative and Selene’s attention to detail. Here’s a peek into the six edible artworks:
- Sherry Wine: A toast to life’s cherished moments, captured through the elegance of wine glass imagery.
- Whiskey Reflections: Featuring Monica’s iconic whiskey-inspired paintings, evoking warmth and tradition.
- The Traveler’s Best Friend: Playful depictions of a joyful golden enjoying life, perfectly balancing fun and sentimentality.

These cookie frames do more than replicate Monica’s paintings—they capture the essence of the moments and emotions behind each original work. With golden and black flourishes reminiscent of ornate baroque-style frames, every piece feels like a luxury dessert made to be admired and indulged.
How This Collaboration Elevates the Art of Celebration
This partnership goes beyond visual art and food—it’s about transforming everyday experiences into elevated moments of joy. Whether it’s a wine-tasting event, an intimate gathering, or a gallery exhibition, these edible pieces bridge two artistic worlds: the tactile elegance of Monica’s artwork and the sensory delight of Selene’s culinary creations.
