Etab Hreib
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.
