Green Hat

Haleh Mashian | Green Hat | Abstract Figurative Expressionism

Green Hat by Haleh Mashian presents the female figure against a saturated violet field, where color becomes both structure and atmosphere. The subject’s steady gaze is framed by painterly shifts of tone that move across her face and body, while the vivid green hat functions as a visual counterpoint within the composition. Rather than serving as a decorative element, the hat anchors the figure’s presence within an otherwise fluid and expressive surface.

Mashian constructs the form through layered mixed media, allowing passages of cool and warm hues to intersect across the skin. Loose brushwork dissolves areas of the body into the surrounding background, compressing spatial depth and emphasizing the psychological presence of the figure over physical environment. The result reflects Mashian’s ongoing engagement with the human form as a site of perception, where gesture, color, and material combine to articulate states of awareness and interiority.
