Haleh Mashian
Mixed media on wood panel
60 x 60 in” (152.4 x 152.4 cm)
“Delphine” is a fusion of portraiture and abstraction, where the human form emerges from a fractured, almost kaleidoscopic field of color and texture. The painting resists immediate recognition, demanding that the viewer engage with it on multiple levels—both as a representation of a figure and as a composition of raw, tactile energy.
This piece is an exploration of identity and transformation. The woman at the center, though discernible, is not rigidly defined. Instead, she is constructed through a dynamic interplay of fragmented shapes and overlapping hues, as if her very being is in a state of perpetual formation. The use of deep blues and warm earth tones within her form contrasts with the fiery reds and oranges that dominate the periphery, creating a visual push-and-pull effect that intensifies her presence.
Mashian’s use of mixed media adds another layer of complexity. The individual shards of color, like stained glass or shattered mosaic pieces, reinforce the theme of fragmentation and reconstruction. “Delphine” can be viewed as a living that shifts depending on the angle, lighting, and focus of the gaze.

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.
