"I am always inspired to seek out new artistic territories to expand my vision and manifest different ways of bringing forth my vision I am a big fan of co-mingling a vast range of disciplines and cross pollinate among all."

-Mashian

For over 25 years, Haleh Mashian’s art has colorfully illustrated her unique, insightful view of the world, both real and imagined As a creative expressionist, Mashian's art embodies her enchantment with color, composition, and the interplay of positive and negative space. Working in mixed media and using a variety of techniques from collage to impasto. Mashian creates a range of dynamic pieces in various sizes to accommodate the residential, retail, and hospitality markets.

Mashian works across various series, each of which has a personal story behind it Whether inspired by a spiritual experience, introspection, or simply the beauty of the world around her, Mashian is driven by her passion for color, texture, and scale.

“Creativity is my

Mashian shares, as she describes the act of creating derives from a divine consciousness, which is akin to what psychologists call “flow:” a mental state of deep creativity and complete immersion in the task at hand In a flow state, one is completely present and open to the act of creating. Mashian, coupled with a daily practice of mindful meditation, enters this creative state frequently in her creative process, whether it’s painting, designing, dancing or through music.

Recently expanding into sculpture and three-dimensional art, she is incorporating LED light, plaster, and other materials that bring her pieces to life. Her love of interior design has also led to an exploration of the digital realm. NFTs, fashion, and furniture manifest her artful vision of living and her belief that art - physical and digital - sculpture, fashion, and interior design can all be seamlessly combined to create a sublime and expressive lifestyle.

Four years ago, Mashian founded Mash Gallery, which has become a hub for creativity and community to thrive under one roof. She aims to celebrate art for the sake of art, not just because it's a commodity As a curator, Mashian strives to be the bridge between the energy and soul of a piece of art and the viewers and community.

Haleh Mashian studied art at various institutions such as UCLA, Otis and Brentwood Art Center, as well as earning a Bachelor of Science degree from USC. 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. Her art is an expression of her unique vision of the world and her continuous exploration of new artistic territories.

TREE SERIES

The Tree Series presents an intricate study of positive and negative space and the mystery of multitudes in minimalism. These canvases, often large-scale, have the effect of walking into a multicolored forest.

Art critic, Peter Frank, speaks of this series with awe:

“Haleh Mashian does not paint trees. She does not paint forests. She paints the condition that persists between trees and forests and those of us who enter those forests and approach those trees as manifestations of energy and mood. These are paintings of presences and at the same time of emotional and mental weather. These are not evocations of places so much as evocations of feelings.”

– Peter Frank, Art Critic

WATER SERIES

The Water Series explores the themes of water its torrents and stillness, its ebbs and flows, its shimmer and depth, its roughness and ripples. Through the use of a myriad of materials and textures, the paintings portray water as a cleansing, an immersive substance that both washes away our detritus and calms our senses with its rejuvenating and constant momentum. In this way, water is both substance and solution carries and cleanses the body and soul.

TEAR SERIES

This series came to Mashian during a retreat, where she was engaged in a meditation of tears.

“This is a spiritual practice where one sheds tears to release oneself from the trauma and pain that we carry in our body. It is a way to free you from painful experiences and to find a deeper connection to yourself. During the meditation, the image of a painting of tears came to me, so when I returned home, I created these works.”

Throughout this series, Mashian creates large flat teardrop shapes using molding paste, plexiglass and paint crackle to build up ridges around each of the shapes. She also includes smaller teardrops, some that lie flat and others that bulge and protrude, adding more relief to their texturized and complex surfaces.

Along with sadness, there is humor and glamour embedded in each of her Tear paintings; the rich crags, glitter eruptions and paint drips not only emote a sad and powerful sensation, but also carry a funky and engaging charm.

"There is pathos in just how far the artist went to discover this strange mix of beauty and the beast. Her Tears are a glittering, funkadelic, disco mash-up; shedding tears under a bright full moon. It expresses in equal parts: humor, joy, play and seriousness, in its ambition to find this unique blend of the masculine and feminine."

ROSES SERIES

In the Rose Series, Mashian captures the quintessential and singular beauty of the rose. Evocative and startling, rather than delicate, the large-scale, mixed media paintings on wood panel highlight the intricacies of single blooms with several works employing the vivid hues of the rose as a theme.

“The rose, to me, identifies beauty, and it’s not a permanent beauty, and there’s a surrender to that, that today the beauty is here and then it may not be there or so be it, you surrender to that. I think that is a very important part of a woman, to be able to flow and to be with what is.”

– Haleh Mashian, The artist

Can one explain the beauty in a rose?

A rose is beautiful now and will eventually surrender its beauty to what is. To capture this beauty, to save this precious form from decay, I isolate the subject in a textured filed where it can be a singular expression of form and frozen, eternal beauty.

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.
