About the Item
In Haleh Mashian's piece, "Awaken 3," a portrayal unfolds as the artist captures the countenance of a man who appears to have transcended the pervasive cloud of forgetfulness and distraction that plagues many in contemporary society. The warm yellows delicately applied to the forefront of the man's face suggest a newfound enlightenment, as if he has awakened to a deeper understanding of life's true essence. These hues symbolize a form of elevated comprehension, marking the departure from the shadows of slumber that once enveloped him. In this composition, Mashian conveys the transformative journey from distraction to awakening, inviting the viewer to contemplate the significance of embracing a more profound and meaningful existence.
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, blue, and orange make it the perfect piece to set the tone in any interior. The fog around the subjects' head symbolizes a brain fog of sorts. This painting is a part of a 3 series project, "Awaken 1", "Awaken 2", and "Awaken 3".
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.
