Acrylic on Canvas | 12 × 16 inches | 1.5 inch depth
A warm, atmospheric original inspired by memory, ritual, and the quiet meaning objects can carry through the people we associate them with. 42 for Mario centers around the iconic silhouette of a Don Julio 1942 bottle paired with a champagne flute - a tradition tied to someone deeply personal to the artist.
Created in layered tones of amber, crimson, black, and glowing orange, the piece captures the feeling of celebration softened by nostalgia.
Expressive brushwork and dramatic lighting give the composition warmth and movement, while the dark surrounding tones create a cinematic sense of intimacy and depth.
Rather than focusing solely on the bottle itself, 42 for Mario was painted as a reflection of connection, familiarity, and the small traditions that become attached to the people we love.
The champagne flute - an unconventional but intentional detail - transforms the piece from a simple still life into something more personal and symbolic.
This is a one-of-a-kind original by Reagan Vest.
