Femme 4

Mixed media collage on wood panel

60 x 60″ (152.4 x 152.4 cm)

“Femme 4” by Haleh Mashian is an exploration of strength, resilience, and power. The fragmented figure at the center exudes both vulnerability and strength, emerging from a shifting landscape of memory and transformation.

The contrast between the structured figure and the fluidity of the surrounding space enhances the painting’s emotional impact. There’s a tension between visibility and dissolution, as if she is simultaneously being shaped by and shaping the world around her.

“Femme 4” invites engagement, contemplation, and an appreciation for the complexities of identity and transformation. It is a testament to endurance and the ever-evolving nature of self-expression.
