Les Bijoux 1

Haleh Mashian

Mixed media on wood

6 x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm)

“Les Bijoux 1” is true to its name—French for “The Jewels”—this piece glows with the opulence of a treasured artifact. Every brushstroke, every layer of texture, contributes to a composition that feels both intricate and radiant.

Mashian’s signature vertical tree forms take center stage, their textured surfaces shimmering with a blend of gold, deep violet, and muted earth tones. There’s a dynamic balance between warmth and coolness—golden yellows pulse with energy, while soft blues and rich purples introduce a moody counterpoint. This contrast brings movement to the piece, making it feel alive despite its intimate scale. It feels both personal and expansive, as if offering a glimpse into a hidden forest at the perfect moment—just as the sun catches the last golden leaves.

This is the kind of artwork that brings sophistication and presence to any collection. Whether displayed on its own or paired with other works, “Les Bijoux 1” proves that even the smallest paintings can hold an entire world within them—one where color, texture, and light work in harmony to create something truly luminous.
