Ethar Balkhair
Saudi artist & cultural curator · Jeddah
A practice rooted in Saudi Arabia — its rituals, its interiors, its light — told through portraiture, still life, landscape and woven work.
Ethar Balkhair is a Saudi artist and cultural curator working between memory, ritual and place. Her practice began in 2019 and has grown alongside a decade spent advising luxury houses and cultural institutions on how Saudi stories are told — an eye trained in both the studio and the archive.
Volume One is the first collected edition of her printed work. Each print is made to museum standard — Fine Art Giclée on archival Hahnemühle German Etching, hand-numbered and signed — and leaves the studio with a Certificate of Authenticity issued under her practice, Atheer Arts — Curation & Cultural Preservation.
Her works are held in private collections, with commissions for cultural institutions and luxury houses — Tiffany & Co., Harvey Nichols, Sephora, Saudia and the Royal Commission for AlUla among them.
The print at arm's length.
German Etching, 310 gsm — a heavy, mould-made etching paper with a fine tooth that holds the ink like a drawing. What you collect is an object: the sheet, its texture, its shadow.
Acquisitions for private, hospitality and institutional collections — by inquiry.
