Haleh Mashian
"Calcified Love" - Figurative Mixed Media Painting by Haleh Mashian

2020

About the Item

About the Artwork: In "Calcified Love," Haleh Mashian captures the poignant contrast between nostalgic memories of the past and the stark reality of the present. An elderly couple sits on a park bench, noticeably distant from each other, their bodies avoiding physical contact. Meanwhile, on the left side of the canvas, a portrayal harks back to a time when love was abundant between them. The title itself, "Calcified Love," offers an insight into the intended interpretation of the piece—a reflection on the gradual hardening and eventual stagnation of marital bliss and domestic harmony. This horizontal 36 inch high and 60 inch wide figurative mixed media painting on canvas is wired and ready to hang. It is hand signed by the artist on the back of the artwork. This painting is part of the artist's figurative series. When painting with live models, Mashian is at her most free. “I let the brush guide me. To draw from a live human figure is to be totally in the moment, to get lost in their form, light and texture.” As an artist, Mashian revels in what psychologists call the “flow phenomenon,” where you are completely engulfed in the act of creating—unconcerned with perfection or error. “To see and render the human figure heightens my awareness of the moment and living in the present. One cannot simultaneously be thinking of something else and paint or draw the human form.” For over 20+ years, Haleh Mashian’s art has colorfully illustrated her unique, astute view of the world, both real and imagined. As a painter and creative expressionist, Mashian’s abstract works reveal her appreciation of color theory, compositional form, and the study of positive and negative space. Working in mixed media and using a variety of 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. Her creativity extends into other forms as well. Haleh has included fashion design, digital art, and music into her repertoire of boundless expression. She is the Founder and Lead Designer for MASH City, her innovative men’s and womenswear collection. Originally from Iran, she is a longtime resident of Southern California with a Studio in Santa Monica where she lives with her husband and two children.

  • "Take Your Pleasure Seriously" - Mixed Media Textured Collage Painting
    By Cabell Molina
    Located in West Hollywood, CA
    This 36 inch square original mixed media painting on canvas is wired and ready to hang. Layers of patterned collage elements and acrylic paint bring this artwork to life. The layering and unique texture of colorful clippings and geometrical designs create a window looking into a luxurious escape perfect for any home or office. The sides of the artwork are painted and it does not require framing. It is signed and titled by the artist on the back of the artwork. Molina's work is influenced by her prior career as an advertising art director–but now her goal now is to sell perspective rather than product. In this series, Cabell reclaims classic femininity as multi-faceted, giving voice and texture to lost imagery. Her art pushes for colorful expansion of a “woman’s place” while it explores the complex dynamic of a woman’s emotions, celebrating the bygone glamour of mid-century fashion and deconstructing its patriarchal underpinnings. Cabell’s painting/collages read as meditations on the female experience and the pursuit for sovereignty in a historically male dominated culture. She studied graphic design, and fine art at San Diego State University and Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. Her work has been featured in NYT The Cut, CNN Style, and Vogue, as well as shown in multinational galleries and can be found in private collections around the world.
