Dancing in Shimmering Rain (Silver)

In her 2019 piece "Dancing in Shimmering Rain (Silver)," artist Haleh Mashian pushes the boundaries of creativity by exploring a number of techniques to adorn the surface of the wooden panel support. Beginning with a backdrop infused with layers of silver, she overlays this foundation with delicate, nuanced neutrals within the raindrop motifs.

About the artist

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.
