Marine Ky is a French-Cambodian artist based in the Cévennes. Her practice moves between etching, installation and living plant matter.

Her botanical etchings and natural dyes draw forms and colours from plants. Fermentation, dehydration and powdering transform their textures and flavours: taste joins sight and touch.

Her exhibitions include the Fukuoka Asian Art Triennale (2005), a survey at the Institut français in Phnom Penh (2013), the Singapore Biennale (2016–17), and Panitam at the Musée de la Soie (2024).

Her work is held in the World Bank Group collection, with further acquisitions in 2025.
