The painting depicts an old woman sitting at a slot machine, her face showing the signs of age and weariness. With a cigarette in her hand, she sits there aimlessly, lost in the world of the slot machine, hoping for a momentary escape or a stroke of luck. The veins on her face are apparent, illustrating the intensity of her emotions as she becomes engrossed in the game. Her perfectly coiffed silver hair adds a touch of elegance to her appearance.
She seeks solace and distraction from the past, hoping that the game will bring her a fleeting moment of joy or relief. The composition of the painting draws attention to the woman, placing her in the center of the frame, surrounded by the flashing lights and enticing symbols of the slot machine.
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.
