A Toast to the Life Behind Us | Restaurant Cocktail Art

A Toast to the Life Behind Us is restaurant cocktail wall art by Monica Márquez Gatica, created in her signature Hybrid Fluid Realism style. This original painting features an amber pour in a cut-glass tumbler, finished with an orange twist and cherry against a deep blue background. The liquid was created with acrylic pouring, giving the drink movement and luminous depth, while the glass, garnish, reflections, and shadows were completed in traditional oil. The original painting has sold, but the piece remains part of Monica’s hospitality-inspired portfolio for collectors, restaurants, lounges, and refined cocktail spaces. reflective cocktail Art where memory becomes part of the atmosphere.
