“Multicolor Rose” by Haleh Mashian is a bold celebration of color, emotion, and diversity. The composition feels both free-flowing and balanced, like the flowers have arranged themselves naturally but with a clear sense of intention behind it.

Each color in “Multicolor Rose” is carefully chosen to evoke a specific emotion. The fiery reds and oranges bring warmth and passion, while the deep blues and purples invite a sense of reflection and depth. The black rose introduces a touch of mystery and even a sense of mortality, contrasting the more energetic tones. The green rose, an unexpected addition, symbolizes renewal and growth, challenging traditional floral symbolism.

Despite its bright and energetic palette, the painting has a surreal quality. While each rose feels distinct, the connected stems bring everything together, creating a subtle sense of unity. However, with so many colors and forms, no single rose stands out as much as in Mashian’s other works that focus on one bloom. Instead, this piece is a meditation on collective expression, where each flower contributes to the whole.

“Multicolor Rose” is both a lively exploration of the emotional power of color and a playful twist on traditional floral art, and will be a vibrant addition for a private collection or for interiors working with public spaces.
