Noelia Hobeika is an abstract painter whose work centers on material nuance and compositional restraint.

Drawing from a palette of mostly muted and metallic tones, she uses heavy-body paint and fragments of pumice stone to bring a haptic quality to her pieces. Her process results in textured surfaces that shift with changing light and perspective.

Hobeika’s paintings evoke a tension between permanence and impermanence, earthiness and radiance. Surface becomes a site for memory, holding the marks of what endures and what fades.

Hobeika lives between Paris and New York with her husband, her son, and their three-legged cat.
