Sénèque Obin (1893–1977) was born in Limbé, Haiti. He was a Haitian-based artist who produced street scenes, still-life paintings, and historical scenes. He is considered one of many masters of the Haitian Renaissance. Obin's brother Philomé and Hector Hippolyte are the most famous Haitian artists and were among these innovators during the Haitian artistic Renaissance starting in the 1940s.
Obin joined the Centre d'Art in 1948[2]". Centre d'Art established a public initiative for Haitian art. Obin and his family were crucial to the success of the Cap-Hatien School of Art.[5] The organization "...promoted intuitive artists and introduced their paintings and sculptures to the marketplace."[6]
Sénèque and his brother were members of the Masonic brotherhood which reflected in their works. The brothers incorporated many masonic symbols into their pictorial space as a result of their loyalty to the brotherhood
