Signature Artist Spotlight: Alicia Suárez

Each year, Martinis + Matisse centers around a Signature Artist whose work sets the creative tone for the evening. In 2026, that honor belongs to Alicia Suárez—an artist whose bold use of color, commanding compositions, and unmistakable energy make her work both instantly recognizable and deeply collectible.

Alicia’s art is defined by movement, emotion, and fearless color. Her large-scale pieces are designed to be experienced—drawing viewers in, sparking connection, and leaving a lasting visual imprint. Grounded in strong composition and visual intelligence, her work balances playfulness with precision, resulting in pieces that feel contemporary yet timeless.

Born and raised in Puerto Rico and now based in Tampa Bay, Alicia brings a rich perspective to her practice. Her non-traditional approach has earned national recognition, with work exhibited throughout the United States and Puerto Rico and held in prominent private and corporate collections. Whether viewed up close or across a room, her art commands attention and invites engagement.

At this year’s sold-out Martinis + Matisse event, ticketed guests will have the exclusive opportunity to purchase chances in the Art Lottery for a featured piece by Alicia. This is one of the most anticipated moments of the evening—an experience reserved solely for attendees and a rare opportunity to take home an original work by our Signature Artist.

The Art Lottery reflects what Martinis + Matisse is all about: celebrating creativity, supporting community health, and creating unforgettable moments where art and impact intersect.

For those lucky enough to have secured a ticket for this Saturday night, Alicia’s work will be more than something to admire—it may be something you leave with.
