About

Marie Obegi is a french Lebanese painter whose figurative practice traces selfhood and psychological experience.

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.
