About this artwork

The work seems to emerge from an atmosphere rather than a scene a woman barely visible within a storm of crimson and violet hues, anchored only by a vase of white roses that pulse with light. The composition feels alive, as if painted in a single breath the brushwork dense, layered, and emotional. The reds speak of passion and endurance; the white roses, of purity and loss. The woman’s form, dissolved into color, becomes less a figure and more a presence a memory suspended in paint.

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.
