About the Item

In Mashian’s "Awaken 2," a woman's face bursts forth with vibrant shades of yellow, green, orange, and blue, engaging the viewer with wide-open eyes that pierce through the canvas. Her keen awareness of the world around her serves as a pivotal element in interpreting the piece. Through this work, the artist aims to emphasize the imperative for individuals to transcend their mundane existences, often overshadowed by anxiety and fear, and embrace a more awakened state of being. This 60" X 60" mixed media painting on wood panel is wired and ready to hang. Its' dark color palette accompanied with pops of vibrant yellow, green, orange and purple make it the perfect piece to set the tone in any interior. The fog around the subjects' head symbolizes a brain fog of sorts. The figure is so wrapped up in her own thoughts that she forgets to admire the beauty that surrounds her. MASHIAN'S FIGURATIVE SERIES - Mashian’s Abstract Figurative Series is her most personal and is an homage to the dichotomies of what it means to be feminine: soft and bold, fluid and stalwart, vulnerable and invincible. Her approach to the feminine form evolves from symbolist collage to a modern interpretation of the feminine figure. Mashian’s work with live models ignited the Femme series, addressing the universal themes of feminine fortitude and fierceness, and at the same time is the latest configuration celebrating the female form—a subject of myriad artworks since the age of antiquity. “The figurative images of women are lush and highly textured – like all of the work here, they are mixed media paintings, large and yet intimate, layered with resin, glitter, gels, fabric, paper, jewels, and beads; or as Mashian describes her work, “Whatever moves me. I wanted all of them to be in a jewel tone because…of the richness of being a woman. We have a lot going for us.” – Haleh Mashian: Meditative Magic, Diversions LA Mashian’s multi-layered approach to her canvases involves acrylic paint applied and re-applied, scraped off and re-added, with the inclusion of an array of materials to render a physicality to her surfaces. As a result, Mashian’s feminine figures reflect both a defined presence and a phantasmagoric reverie that emphasize how women are adept at inhabiting multiple spaces, varied lives, and an amalgam of identities. Mashian’s process of technique divulges the inherent fluidity in the nature of the feminine, juxtaposing the constant duality of woman’s quintessence: the soft and the bold, the flexible and the stalwart, the vulnerable and the invincible. ABOUT THE ARTSIT - As a painter and creative expressionist, Mashian’s abstract works reveal her appreciation of color theory, compositional form, and studying positive and negative space. Working in mixed media and using various techniques from collage to impasto, a repeated layering and application of paint, Mashian’s dynamic pieces range from smaller artworks that can be arranged together to large-scale paintings. Her large-paneled paintings have been exhibited nationally in Los Angeles, Miami, and other art enclaves and are included in private collections in the United States and abroad.

Imagine a Night - Impasto Thick Paint Colorful Original Figurative Art
By Cynthia Coulombe Bégin
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Coulombe-Bégin's dynamic acrylic on canvas works seek to produce a metamorphic interpretation of the artist's inner identity. Her paintings make ample use of contrasting colors to create exuberance and energy in her images. Inspired by street art, Coulombe Bégin 's paintings range from the abstract to the surreal and employ a variety of techniques and materials. Her contemporary artworks draw inspiration from body image, the universally recognizable symbol of hearts, and the experience of humankind. She brings a sensitivity to her work that stems from her exploration of identity and the joy and happiness of existence. Coulombe-Bégin draws us into her internal world: exploring the soul and matter, conscience, and the modern universe. This original figurative pop art painting measures 48 inches square. The thickly textured paint is applied with tactile brushwork. It is wired and ready to hang. The sides of this artwork are painted black and it does not require framing. Free local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping are available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Coulombe-Bégin’s work portrays from colorful hearts to specific parts of the human body, especially large close-up portrayals of the mouth and eyes, which are depicted with great contrasts of color and chiaroscuro. These symbols are constructed with specific gestures and drippings in which Coulombe-Bégin expresses an abstract universe full of movement, symbolism, and eroticism. Born in Miami, Coulombe-Bégin grew up in Quebec City where she earned a Bachelor of Visual Arts in 2006 from Laval University. Starting very young, her parents focused a great deal on both the arts and athletics which helped her develop her mode of expression. “I am particularly interested in the fragmented corporal shell, which I emphasize through spontaneous movement and vivid colors.” stated Coulombe-Bégin. “My experience with painting has led me to see things differently, to self-discovery and great astonishment." Coulombe-Bégin's works have been exhibited and collected worldwide, including Canada, the United States, Europe, South America, and Australia.
