About this artwork
“Magic City” by Etab Hreib is an acrylic on canvas that captures the poetry of place through color. Terracotta houses rise and flow like a living mountain, their shapes dissolving into the blue of sea and sky. It feels both ancient and imagined a city built from memory, warmth, and longing. Hreib paints with emotion rather than precision, letting color tell the story of connection and nostalgia.
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.
