Downscale Salon

Acrylic on Canvas

36″ x 60″

Haleh Mashian’s Downscale Salon is a figurative acrylic painting that captures the humor, intimacy, and humanity of social connection. Hand-signed by the artist, this horizontal composition portrays a lively group of women in conversation, each rendered with distinct character and expressive individuality. The textured layers of paint and soft washes of pink, gold, and earthy tones create an atmosphere that feels both theatrical and familiar.

Part of Mashian’s Figurative Series, this piece reflects her intuitive approach to painting the human form. Allowing the brush to guide her, she captures gesture and personality in real time, celebrating imperfection and spontaneity. The scene evokes a sense of community and shared experience, where laughter, secrets, and emotion unfold within a single frame.

Downscale Salon embodies Mashian’s fascination with human connection and the energy of the present moment. Ideal for collectors and interior designers seeking contemporary figurative art that combines expressive color, texture, and narrative depth, this work brings warmth and character to any space.
