He created a monumental fireplace for the 1889 Great Paris Exhibition and two vases with Japanese figures for the same event. At the National Exhibition of 1890 he presented his statue of Ariadne, the princess of the island of Crete, from Greek mythology. Obiols' work can be found in many of the leading art museums & galleries in Europe and North America.

In 1901 he moved to Saint-Josse-ten-Noode , and a year later to Schaerbeek where he would live for the rest of his life.
