Sugar Crash

Exhibition by Scarlet Aguilar
 

In Sugar Crash, Scarlet Aguilar paints the highs and lows of indulgence and emotion through candy-colored scenes that mix sweetness with melancholy. Her oil-on-canvas works—ranging from playful triptychs to intimate portraits—capture the overstimulation and vulnerability of modern life.

 

Behind the bright pastels of “The Luck That Never Runs Out” or “Table for One, Please,” lies the quiet exhaustion of chasing comfort and meaning. Aguilar invites viewers to savor the beauty, then feel the crash that follows—an honest reflection of life’s fleeting highs.
