Description
“A Toast to Us” by Monica: Ready when you are. Just add friends.
In A Toast to Us, Monica Márquez Gatica invites us into a scene rich with symbolism and soul. Bottles of wine and champagne rest in a glistening bed of ice—each vessel unique in color, contour, and character—yet brought together in perfect harmony. Painted in Monica’s signature Hybrid Fluid Realism, the work seamlessly merges the flowing spontaneity of acrylic pours with the refined precision of oil, offering a lush, layered visual experience.
Here, the bottles become more than beverages—they become voices, cultures, and stories, cooling quietly in anticipation of celebration. The ice, with its crystalline brilliance, reflects not only the bottles above it but the shimmering clarity of genuine connection. Just as ice preserves the wine, these shared moments preserve our memories, our laughter, and our bonds.
This painting is a tribute to friendship and unity—a reminder that though we may come from different vintages, we are at our best when we gather. A Toast to Us elevates the everyday ritual of sharing a drink into something eternal: an artful expression of love, heritage, and the unspoken warmth between those who choose to come together.
Perfect for collectors who understand that luxury lives in the moments we savor, this piece turns any space into a celebration of the ties that bind.
