Marie Obegi is a French-Lebanese artist whose figurative practice explores the psychological and relational dimensions of self, identity and interaction. Working across painting, drawing, and print, her multimedia practice explores fragmentation and reconfiguration the figure, tracing how inner states manifest through form, material, and gesture.
Influenced by psychology, literature, and philosophy, Obegi’s practice explores rhythmic series where form is built from suggesting memory, experience and emotion as much as it is from the figure itself. Her interest lies in what is concealed as much as what is revealed, and in how intimacy functions as a visual and conceptual structure, building a narrative across each body of work that invites her audience into the elaborate plotlines she creates.
Obegi is the founder and director of Maison Pan, an artist-run space operating in London, Paris, and Beirut, where she curates exhibitions and leads a residency programme supporting emerging and established artists.
In 2025, she organised Art for Lebanon, an international auction raising over $92,000 for NGOs working in Lebanon.
Her work has been exhibited internationally, in Paris, Beirut, New-York, including at Chapelle XIV (Paris), Guts gallery, Unit 1 Gallery (London), and art fairs in Barcelona and Beirut.
