ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In Haleh Mashian’s painting, “Tribal Rhythm,” a forward-facing female figure emerges amidst sweeping, gestural brushstrokes rendered in ethereal white. The dynamic movement of these strokes evokes a rhythmic sensation for some observers. Notably, the artist’s distinctive approach extends to the unique materials employed in the piece. Through a meticulous process, she has not only scraped away sections of paint but also stained the wood beneath, creating an intriguing resemblance to human flesh. This technique potentially unveils a profound symbolism, suggesting a revelation of shared humanity beneath layers that typically obscure our inner selves—a poignant exploration of what connects us beyond the superficial divisions.
