About the Artist

Mouna Rebeiz is based in London. She grew up surrounded by musicians, painters, and poets who would later influence her painting. Fascinated by the many facets of the human being and the psyche, she studied psychology at the Sorbonne. After obtaining her master’s degree in psychology, she travelled the world until, in 1995, she met Alix de la Source, a lecturer at the Louvre and a specialist in 18th-century painting, who introduced her to the techniques of the great masters. She joined the Cépiade workshop in Paris, then perfected her mastery of patinas through Renaissance courses, studying under Abraham Pincas, painter and professor at ENSBA Paris, and Mohamed El Rawas, Lebanese painter and engraver, professor at the Beirut School of Fine Arts.

In both her figurative and abstract works, Mouna Rebeiz captures the energy of life and the female form in its most essential expression—a universal vessel of emotion. Her monumental, reimagined totem sculptures reflect a contemporary sense of playful spatiality.

The artist has exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris, the Maison d’Amérique Latine in Monaco, Art en Capital at the Grand Palais in Paris, and in the group show She Views Herself at the Paul Ricard Foundation in Paris. She has held solo exhibitions at the Galerie Pierre Alain Challier in Paris and with Le Tarbouch at the Saatchi Gallery in London. Her work has been featured on the cover of Connaissance des Arts magazine, in collaboration with the Louis Vuitton Foundation, and she returned to the Saatchi Gallery with the solo show The Trash-ic. She was also commissioned by the Bic Foundation in France and participated in Artistes à la Une – Togeth’Her at La Monnaie de Paris, in partnership with Madame Figaro.
