Azul

Haleh Mashian

Mixed media on canvas
36 x 36″ (91.4 x 91.4 cm)

“Azul” by Haleh Mashian is a richly textured exploration of color and depth, where layers of pigment create an immersive forest scene. The piece captures the interplay of darkness and radiance, with deep, earthy browns anchoring the composition while flecks of turquoise and gold shimmer throughout the canopy.

Mashian’s technique is almost sculptural—thick applications of paint and mixed media lend the surface a tactile quality, enhancing the illusion of dappled light filtering through the trees. The vertical lines of the trunks provide structure, while the atmospheric top half dissolves into an intricate fusion of color, evoking the quiet mystery of nature at dusk.

This painting embodies the essence of contemporary abstract expressionism, blending nature-inspired themes with a bold, mixed-media approach. With its rich color palette and intricate detailing, “Azul” is a compelling choice for collectors and interior designers looking for statement artwork that brings both elegance and depth to a space.
