Golden Hour I

Mixed Media on Canvas

48" x 72"

In Golden Hour I, Haleh Mashian translates the fleeting beauty of sunlight into a tactile symphony of texture, pigment, and reflection. This mixed media painting captures the quiet transition between day and night, where warm golds, soft earth tones, and subtle iridescence merge across the surface. Each layered ridge and glimmering highlight mirrors the rhythm of nature, suggesting rippling water, shifting sands, or the timeless erosion of stone.

This version of Golden Hour radiates through natural light. As viewers move around the piece, the surface changes—revealing new depths, colors, and metallic undertones that respond to the surrounding environment. The result is both meditative and dynamic, embodying Mashian’s ability to merge abstraction with organic realism.

Part of Haleh Mashian’s Golden Hour Series, this work continues her exploration of light, transformation, and the emotional landscape of nature. Ideal for collectors of contemporary abstract art and textural mixed media paintings, Golden Hour I reflects the artist’s signature balance of earth and luminosity, an elegant harmony that feels timeless and alive.
