Nicknamed “La Pintura de Flores,” or “the flower painter” in Spanish, she often painted heavily symbolic still lifes as well as portraits.
She traveled widely and painted during trips to Dakar, Beirut, and Paris, as well as exhibited her work in Chile, Brazil, Cuba and the United States.
[7][8][9] While growing up in Lebanon, Zogbé attended a local Catholic school and later the Sainte Famille College in Beirut, where she received a French education.
She returned to Beirut for an extended stay in 1947, during which time the Lebanese government sponsored articles on three artists including Zogbé,[10] and gained success in the local market.
During this period, her art featured in a solo show at the Cénacle Libanais, an esteemed literary salon attended by prominent Lebanese intellectuals.
[3][5] In the twenty-first century, Zogbé began to receive more recognition as a pioneering Lebanese woman artist and painter in the Arab modernist style, with her works prized for their vivid colors and for their "double meanings" or symbolism.
[5] In 2022, the Beirut gallery, Galerie Tanit, hosted a new exhibit of her art, while in recent years museums in Lebanon have also put her work on display.
