About this artwork
“A View from the Sky” by Etab Hreib is a pair of acrylic on canvas works that reimagine the landscape as memory seen from above fluid, shifting, alive. Clusters of small houses scatter across rolling color fields, their soft shapes and rhythmic brushwork echoing the pulse of life beneath them. From this aerial gaze, the world feels both intimate and infinite, a tapestry of human presence woven into the earth itself. The cool blues and greens hold serenity, while the bursts of red and yellow suggest movement, growth, and the persistence of life even after change. Hreib paints not geography, but emotion, how a place feels when remembered, how home lingers long after distance.
About the Artist
Etab Hreib’s life has been one of motion, resistance and luminous creation. From the shifting houses of her Syrian childhood, moving from Aleppo to Tartus and finally settling in Damascus, she learned early that home is more than bricks: it is a memory, a colour, a departure.
Her style is expressive-abstract watercolor narrative, that swirl with green vigour, sky-blue liberations, streaks of red rebellion, and deep black grief. Yet the overall palette remains rich, optimistic, full of possibility rather than surrender. She creates simple motifs, a house on a hillside, a tree leaning toward the wind, a window open to dusk, but imbues them with emotional depth and personal geography.
