Born in the coastal village of Sahel Alma in Lebanon, Labibé Zoghbé, known as Bibi, emigrated to Argentina at the age of sixteen. His career as an artist began in the 1930s, with exhibitions in Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro, Chile and Uruguay. At the end of the Second World War, she lived between Paris and Dakar from where she left for Lebanon in 1947. She exhibited that year at the Lebanese Cenacle and at the Museum of Beirut. Bibi Zoghbé who particularly liked to paint flowers had well deserved her title of "El Paintora des Flores".

The poet Charles Corm wrote about her: "All the flowers in the world smile at us for a day and then go away, but her flowers will never perish because she has put the incandescence of her heart into them" .
