About this work
In “Nine Shades of Jasmine,” Nawar Shartouh traces a visual journey from white to black, nine subtle shades shifting like the fading scent of jasmine at dusk. Each painting holds its own tone, its own emotional temperature, moving gradually from light to shadow as if recording the quiet evolution of memory.
Through expressive abstraction and finely-etched line work, Shartouh captures moments of companionship, tenderness, and simple human rituals. The figures emerge softly from textured backgrounds, forming a series that feels intimate, poetic, and deeply interconnected._
Perfect for contemporary, minimalist, and art-driven homes, the nine works can be displayed as a unified wall installation or separated into gentle narrative fragments throughout the space, each piece carrying a different shade of story.
For collectors: A full spectrum of emotion — rare, cohesive, and meant to be owned as one.
