This original 16.5-inch tall by 11.5-inch wide artwork, created with ink and acrylic on paper, is unframed. Signed by the artist on the front, it comes with a certificate of authenticity from the art gallery. Local delivery is available in Los Angeles, with affordable worldwide shipping for US and international collectors.

Chalhoub's work centers on texture and contrast. Using a sculpting-like technique, she etches lines onto the paper, imbuing her creations with vitality. Her focus is on the abstract human form, exploring emotion through body language. Themes of family dynamics, intimacy, and emotional intricacies pervade her work. She delves into loneliness, sorrow, and the transient nature of existence, inviting viewers to contemplate the human experience and our profound connections.
