Morning Glory

"Morning Glory" by Haleh Mashian is a vibrant, energetic take on floral art, where color and movement take center stage. Instead of capturing a rose in quiet stillness, Mashian transforms it into a dynamic force—pigments swirl, stretch, and burst across the surface, creating a sense of organic motion. Bold yellows and deep greens pulse with light and vitality, giving the impression that the flower is glowing from within.

What makes "Morning Glory" so engaging is its expressive freedom. Rather than meticulously outlining every petal, Mashian lets the materials guide the movement, creating a sense of natural spontaneity. There’s a fine line between abstraction and chaos, and at moments, the fluidity of the pigment pushes the boundaries of form. But this looseness is what gives the piece its vitality—capturing the flower at the height of its bloom, full of life and bursting with energy.

For collectors and interior designers looking for contemporary artwork that embodies movement, texture, and the brilliance of nature, "Morning Glory" is a stunning choice.

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 are included in private collections in the United States and abroad.
