Hello Marine, also known as Marine Gentils, is an acclaimed French artist whose vibrant work is defined by its optimism and a distinct sense of playful escapism. Born in Paris and raised in the scenic landscapes of South West France, her artistic foundation was heavily influenced by her father, a photographer, and her uncle, a painter. Her formal training took place in the United Kingdom, where she studied graphic design at the University of Brighton and deeply immersed herself in the screenprinting process. This educational background laid the groundwork for a successful career spanning over sixteen years, during which she has transitioned from a sought after illustrator into a dedicated printmaker and painter.

Her aesthetic is recognized for its bold use of color, striking simplicity, and a satisfying economy of lines that often evoke a retro feel. Marine draws inspiration from a diverse array of sources, including nature, music, and the sixties Ye-Ye movement. She also cites iconic figures such as Henri Matisse, Margaret Kilgallen, and Henri Rousseau as major influences on her visual language. Her professional portfolio is extensive, featuring collaborations with prestigious international brands such as Dior, Lacoste, and The New York Times, as well as editorial work for Penguin Books and Time Out.

Currently based in Brighton, UK, Marine continues to evolve her practice by focusing on large scale canvases and refining the concept of still life through a blend of figuration and abstraction. Her paintings have been exhibited in major cities globally, including New York, San Francisco, and Paris, reflecting her ability to connect with audiences through a shared sense of joy and wonder. In early 2026, she remains active in her seaside studio, producing original color studies and personal projects that maintain her signature "sunny" and positive energy.
