About this artwork
“Walls & Stories” by Etab Hreib is an acrylic on canvas alive with fragments of memory and imagination. Hints of houses, arches, and trees overlap in layers of blue, green, and crimson — like a city built from recollection rather than stone. Every brushstroke feels like a whisper of life once lived: laughter behind windows, voices echoing through narrow streets. Hreib turns architecture into emotion, showing how walls don’t just contain stories — they become them.

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.
