Goldened

Haleh Mashian

Mixed Media on Canvas

60 × 48″

“Goldened” is an enchanting woodland where light dances across textured surfaces, revealing the richness of nature through a contemporary lens. This mixed-media piece fuses abstract expressionism with luxury aesthetics, creating a visual experience that feels both organic and ethereal.

Through bold, gestural strokes and intricate layering, Mashian brings depth and movement to the canvas. The trees, rendered in shades of white, black, and sienna, rise against a backdrop of cool cerulean blues and shimmering gold leaf accents, evoking a sense of timeless beauty.

The dimensionality of the piece, achieved through thick applications of pigment and sculptural relief work, gives the impression of a tactile, living forest. The textured bark and layered gold create a sense of tangible luxury, making this painting as much about physicality as it is about visual storytelling. Its fusion of earthy warmth and metallic opulence makes it an ideal focal point for spaces that embrace modern elegance, organic textures, and high-end aesthetics.
