In “October Moon,” Shartouh composes a dreamlike scene where layered figures drift beneath a sky heavy with silence. The moon — strikingly painted in black rather than light, becomes a symbol of introspection, turning absence into presence and darkness into a quiet form of illumination.
Built through expressive abstraction and overlapping translucent forms, the work captures the feeling of an October night: reflective, moody, and beautifully unpredictable. Its monochrome palette and sculptural textures make it powerful statement in contemporary and minimalist interiors.
For collectors: A rare moon that glows by refusing to shine, subtle, poetic, unmistakably Shartouh.
