Lush Escape I
Artist: Haleh Mashian
50 by 49.6 inches
Mixed Media on Carved Wood (Framed)
Description:
Haleh Mashian transforms the natural world into a radiant vision of contemporary abstraction. Carved directly into wood, the surface becomes sculptural, with vertical grooves and ridges that mirror the rhythm and density of a forest. Vivid bands of green, pink, yellow, silver, purple, and blue flow across the composition, their contrasts and harmonies creating a sense of movement and depth.
Sections of the work are accentuated by crystalline elements, which catch and reflect the light, adding a jewel-like shimmer that heightens the painting’s tactile richness. This luminous quality, combined with the carved relief, allows the piece to exist between painting and sculpture — an immersive surface that reveals new layers with every view.
Mashian’s Lush Escape celebrates vitality, resilience, and interconnectedness, presenting nature as both powerful and poetic. A striking example of contemporary abstract art, the work demonstrates her ability to merge natural inspiration with innovative technique. Exhibited at the West Hollywood art gallery and celebrated in the Los Angeles contemporary art scene, Lush Escape resonates with collectors and designers seeking bold, textured works that command presence and inspire reflection.
