“Creativity is my

Mashian shares, as she describes the act of creating derives from a divine consciousness, which is akin to what psychologists call “flow:” a mental state of deep creativity and complete immersion in the task at hand In a flow state, one is completely present and open to the act of creating. Mashian, coupled with a daily practice of mindful meditation, enters this creative state frequently in her creative process, whether it’s painting, designing, dancing or through music.

Recently expanding into sculpture and three-dimensional art, she is incorporating LED light, plaster, and other materials that bring her pieces to life. Her love of interior design has also led to an exploration of the digital realm. NFTs, fashion, and furniture manifest her artful vision of living and her belief that art - physical and digital - sculpture, fashion, and interior design can all be seamlessly combined to create a sublime and expressive lifestyle.

Four years ago, Mashian founded Mash Gallery, which has become a hub for creativity and community to thrive under one roof. She aims to celebrate art for the sake of art, not just because it's a commodity As a curator, Mashian strives to be the bridge between the energy and soul of a piece of art and the viewers and community.

Haleh Mashian studied art at various institutions such as UCLA, Otis and Brentwood Art Center, as well as earning a Bachelor of Science degree from USC. Originally from Iran, she is a longtime resident of Southern California with a studio in Santa Monica, where she lives with her husband and two children. Her art is an expression of her unique vision of the world and her continuous exploration of new artistic territories.

WATER SERIES

The Water Series explores the themes of water its torrents and stillness, its ebbs and flows, its shimmer and depth, its roughness and ripples. Through the use of a myriad of materials and textures, the paintings portray water as a cleansing, an immersive substance that both washes away our detritus and calms our senses with its rejuvenating and constant momentum. In this way, water is both substance and solution carries and cleanses the body and soul.
