In Her Own Pattern by Violet Danesh is a 9x9 foot temporary vinyl mural exhibition in the West Hollywood Park 5-story parking structure. On exhibit through November 2026.
The large-scale vinyl installation is a digital reprint of a smaller acrylic painting on canvas by Violet Danesh who describes the intention behind her artwork as exploring identity through contrast and control, inviting viewers into the gaze of a woman wholly self-defined. In Her Own Pattern celebrates the quiet power of self-possession. The bold, black-and-white stripes suggest both order and disruption, symbolizing how patterns, whether societal or personal, can be worn, reshaped, or reclaimed. Her expression is poised yet unreadable, balanced within a space of flat planes and fractured realism. The stylized face, layered with earthy tones and sharp lines, speaks to complexity, resilience, and individuality. She does not blend into the environment—she owns and stands apart. She is not part of a crowd nor looking for approval, she is patterned by her own choices and story.
Violet Danesh is a multidisciplinary artist, art director, and long-time painter whose work explores identity, memory, and the emotional landscapes of womanhood. With a background in graphic design and more than a decade of experience in digital and interactive design, Violet blends fine art with visual storytelling to create pieces that are both intimate and expansive. Her paintings often draw from lived experiences as an immigrant woman, using layered textures and minimalist forms to hold space for reflection, resilience, and quiet beauty. To her, making art is an act of care and defiance—a way to center emotion, reclaim space, and speak across boundaries.
Previous artworks installed at this location include Rebekah Rose’s Peaches and Tea; Travion Payne’s Heteronormative Death of the Golden Child; Mei Xian Qui’s Let A Thousand Flowers Bloom; Yuri Boyko’s The Persona, and Rajab Sayed’s Partition.
