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.
