Maria Smith - Sky Candy

​"Sky Candy" by upcoming Artist Maria Smith from The Cotswolds UK, is a mesmerizing abstract work that transcends traditional media, offering collectors a singular, two-part sensory experience. Inspired by the captivating, fleeting magic of Giffords Circus in the Cotswolds, this painting translates an ephemeral moment—the luminous chaos of twilight and the sugary sweetness of spun confection—into a dynamic, tactile masterpiece. ​The daylight composition is a study in texture and luminosity. Smith employs a densely layered impasto technique across a foundation of soft ethereal pastels (pinks, buttery yellows, and aqueous blues), evoking the dreamy haze of a late summer evening. Scattered throughout, {Silver Leaf} elements are meticulously applied, acting as precious points of light—the glistening remnants of candy floss or airborne, shimmering bubbles. ​The Midnight Revelation: A 2-in-1 Masterpiece ​The true value and innovation of this work lie in its inherent duality. "Sky Candy" is engineered to transform completely under low light. The canvas is infused with specialized fluorescent neon pigments that activate under UV blacklight. When illuminated, the painting shifts from a delicate pastel arrangement to a pulsating, electric spectacle—an {otherworldly celestial circus} glowing with unexpected depth and energy. This dual nature ensures the work remains a focal point, day and night. ​ Condition Excellent. Presented in a bespoke black floating frame. Accompanied by: Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist
