About this artwork

“Back Home” by Etab Hreib is an acrylic on canvas steeped in emotion and light. A city rises from the water in tones of amber and blue half remembered, half reborn. The houses seem to merge with the sky, their outlines fading like memories that never quite leave. It is a return not to a place, but to a feeling the warmth of belonging, the ache of distance, the quiet beauty of recognition. Hreib paints home as something both lost and eternal, where every color carries a trace of love and departure.

About the Artist

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.
