Neon Remains | Original 36x36 in (91.44x91.44 cm)
Description
This electrifying mixed media work captures the dazzling, disjointed energy of a night out in Miami Beach—where time blurs, colors pulse, and memory fractures under strobe lights and music.
Fluorescent pinks, acid greens, electric blues, and blazing oranges collide across the canvas in a chaotic choreography. The artist builds layers like overlapping beats, then sands them down and reworks them—revealing the non-linear fragments of a night barely remembered, yet deeply felt.
There’s no single focal point, no clean narrative—only motion, rhythm, and sensation. The painting mimics the swirl of laughter, music, strangers’ faces, and sudden silence, all bleeding into one another. Like trying to piece together what happened the night before through flashes and feelings rather than facts.
"Neon Remains" is both celebration and haze—a vibrant love letter to being fully alive in a moment, even if that moment refuses to stay still.
Care
To preserve the integrity of this mixed media canvas, display it in a dry, temperature-stable environment away from direct sunlight, humidity, and extreme heat. Avoid touching the surface directly, as the layered textures and delicate materials—such as paper fragments and metallics—can be sensitive to oils and abrasion. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth or a clean, natural-bristle brush. Do not use water, cleaning products, or compressed air. If long-term preservation is a concern, consider professional framing or consultation with a fine art conservator.
Design
Crismary Pascarella’s technique blends architectural thinking with intuitive mark-making, using layered paper fragments, collage, pigment, and text to create spatial compositions. She builds and erodes surfaces through sanding and layering, echoing the processes of memory and urban decay—transforming material into emotional geography.
