ARTIST: HALEH MASHIAN ROCK AND ROSE II

Haleh Mashian’s Rock and Rose II reimagines the iconic floral motif through a striking fusion of texture, materiality, and contemporary aesthetics. This particular piece stands as a testament to her ability to transform traditional beauty into a bold, three-dimensional spectacle The handmade roses, sculpted from an array of unconventional materials resin, construction foam, pour-on paint, and glitter break from the delicate fragility often associated with flowers Instead, they emerge with a sculptural solidity, pulsating with vibrancy against a richly textured, almost lunar-like metallic backdrop

The pop art sensibility of the piece is unmistakable The roses, rendered in high-contrast hues of yellow, red, turquoise, and emerald green, seem to hover between organic and artificial, simultaneously evoking nature and mass production The interplay between the glossy resin and the raw, industrial feel of the construction foam creates a visual tension one that bridges the space between elegance and excess The reflective glitter and metallic undertones heighten this duality, reinforcing the sense that these roses exist in an almost surreal, otherworldly dimension.

At its core, this work is an exploration of transformation both in material and meaning The dimensionality invites the viewer to engage beyond the surface, experiencing the interplay of shadow, light, and depth as the roses seem to push forward from their textured terrain Mashian’s approach challenges our perception of beauty, asking us to consider the intersection of nature and synthetic, of high art and pop culture. In doing so, she crafts a work that is both playful and profound, offering a fresh perspective on an age-old symbol of love, resilience, and artistic reinvention

ARTIST: HALEH MASHIAN METALLICA IV

Haleh Mashian’s Metallica IV is a striking convergence of nature and shimmer, where the organic and the metallic merge to create a dreamlike woodland scene Part of her Tree Series, this mixedmedia work transforms a familiar forest landscape into something almost celestial. The textured tree trunks, sculpted with thick applications of material, extend beyond the canvas, creating a three-dimensional effect that makes the piece feel immersive Each trunk carries its own unique character, with a spectrum of earthy browns, deep blacks, and mossy greens, contrasted by an ethereal, silver-toned background that glistens with an almost cosmic energy

The metallic backdrop acts as a counterbalance to the raw, rugged texture of the trees, elevating the composition beyond naturalism into something more symbolic perhaps a meditation on permanence, resilience, or transformation. The interplay of shadow and highlight suggests a forest caught in an otherworldly light, suspended in time between reality and abstraction Metallica IV is not merely a representation of trees; it is an exploration of materiality, a fusion of solidity and fluidity, and a poetic reflection on the enduring beauty of nature in a world that is constantly shifting

BIG SKY

"Big Sky" is a breathtaking abstract landscape that immerses the viewer in an expansive, ethereal world of shifting light and color. Blurring the line between landscape and atmosphere, the painting evokes a sense of infinite openness, where soft blues, muted greens, and wisps of white dissolve seamlessly into one another. With a textured, almost weathered surface, the piece captures the vastness and impermanence of nature, evoking a sky that stretches beyond its own limits, embracing the earth in a fleeting, dreamlike moment.

The layered composition creates a sense of depth and movement, where luminous washes of color interact with expressive brushwork to suggest the slow erosion of time as if the painting itself has been sculpted by the elements. The upper portion radiates a soft, weightless green, while the lower sections anchor the composition with delicate strokes of blue and white, subtly alluding to oceanic reflections, mist-covered terrain, or snowladen landscapes.

Drawing from the tradition of Color Field painting, "Big Sky" transcends traditional representation, focusing instead on the emotional resonance of color and atmosphere. Its ambiguous form invites contemplation, allowing each viewer to find their own connection to memory, mood, and the sublime beauty of the natural world.

More than a landscape, "Big Sky" is an invitation to stillness and introspection a meditation on space, light, and the transient nature of existence. Ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of contemporary abstraction, atmospheric minimalism, and emotive landscape painting, this work offers a sense of serenity, depth, and timeless beauty.

LANDSCAPES FROM THE 5TH DIMENSION

65 X 70 IN $30,000

Ivo Vergara’s work is a fusion of organic fluidity and structured abstraction, a dreamlike interplay of color, form, and movement This particular piece transports viewers into a surreal landscape where the natural world and abstract geometry coexist in a delicate, harmonious balance

The composition is a dynamic explosion of colors fiery reds, deep blues, and golden yellows melt into soft pastels, creating an ethereal atmosphere that suggests both terrestrial and celestial realms Vergara’s brushwork is both controlled and expressive, seamlessly blending elements that resemble cloud formations, coral reefs, and geological formations with geometric, almost architectural motifs The intricate, layered details in the painting evoke a sense of depth and weightlessness, as though the forms are in constant motion, shifting between solidity and dissolution

At the center of the composition, a series of interconnected abstract shapes, rendered in warm neutral tones, appear to emerge from or dissolve into the surrounding environment These forms, reminiscent of fragmented sculptures or biomorphic figures, suggest transformation— perhaps a meditation on the intersection of humanity and nature, or the fluid boundaries between reality and imagination

Vergara’s use of negative space is equally compelling, as the light blue sky-like voids give the piece an airy openness, allowing the viewer’s eye to travel freely across the composition This interplay of density and emptiness heightens the painting’s surreal quality, as if the entire scene exists within a liminal space between dream and reality.
