Few things in life evoke memory and emotion quite like wine and art. For artist Monica Márquez Gatica, these two passions are not just complementary; they are deeply intertwined. Rooted in the traditions of Jerez, Spain, where sherry flows through the veins of history, Monica’s work bridges old-world charm with a contemporary sensibility. Now based in Colorado, she continues to weave cultural connections through her Hybrid Fluid Realism style —a technique that merges the organic unpredictability of acrylic pouring with the precision of oil painting.
As an artist and wine enthusiast, Monica’s journey has led her to partner with renowned wineries and distilleries, exhibiting her work in some of the most refined spaces where art and wine converge. This year, her work is featured in BrookCliff Vineyards' tasting rooms, reflecting her commitment to capturing wine’s essence on canvas. She has also fostered relationships with 7Cellars Wine, founded by John Elway, and friendships with many local wineries, further anchoring her presence in the wine community.
But Monica’s artistry isn’t just about painting bottles—it’s about telling stories. Each piece invites viewers to relive moments of connection, celebration, and nostalgia. Whether it’s the golden hues of bourbon reflecting a fireside evening or the deep reds of a Caymus cabernet that recalls an unforgettable dinner, Monica transforms wine culture into an immersive visual experience.
Beyond the easel, Monica is an active participant in Colorado’s wine and art scene, showcasing her work at high-profile wine festivals and events.
For those who appreciate art that speaks to the soul and wine that tells a story, Monica Fine Art offers a sensory journey unlike any other. Her paintings aren’t just still lifes; they are vibrant dialogues between craftsmanship, tradition, and emotion.
