Sneak, the Algerian urban artist, is a master of calligraphic and geometric manifestos, whose work challenges the perceptions of historical and social phenomena. His art is ubiquitous, from the alleys to the galleries, and he encourages people to broaden their understanding and question traditional definitions to make their own.
Sneak’s approach as an artist, calligrapher, and designer is defined by the verb “to sneak,”
as he subtly tramples the patterns of his spatiotemporal similes.

Sneak’s work is marked by his graphic metaphors and comparisons, blending the precision of geometry with
the disproportionate extension of human thought and ideals. He wanders incessantly between the spontaneity
of his features, the meticulousness of his research, and the treatment of his themes, drawing inspiration
from ancient civilizations, esotericism, and mysticism. Sneak’s work explores urban degradation phenomena,
daily facts, and excessive observation, leaving a line of chance for opposite elements to manifest themselves
in his wildly structured calligraffiti.

Born in 1990 in Belcourt, a revolutionary Eastern neighborhood of Algiers, Sneak was exposed to art
and architecture at an early age. His parents, an artist and architect mother and a town planner
and entrepreneur father, instilled in him a love of traveling, architecture, and construction sites.
Sneak grew up attending traditional Quran school, where he learned the craftsmanship of Kalam,
recitation, and Arabic calligraphy.

At the age of nine, Sneak discovered Hip-Hop culture, which became a daily part of his life.
At thirteen, he started creating graffiti on walls, which sparked his interest in alternative cultures and classical
styles of graffiti. As he grew older, his interests expanded to include jazz tendencies, traditional and urban music,
physical and chemical laws of the universe, adventure, literature, occultism, and philosophy.
Sneak joined the graphic design network as a junior freelance graphic designer at eighteen and continued to pursue
his passion for discovery.

In 2011, Sneak left university to pursue an artistic academic curriculum at The National Superior School of
Fine Arts of Algiers, specializing in miniatures, ornamented illustration, and details. He concentrated his efforts
on typography, semiology, and the history of art, while continuing to create street art in Algiers.
By 2014, Sneak had become an urban artist who could no longer be ignored, exhibiting his work in galleries
and on the streets. His work continues to challenge and inspire, inviting viewers to broaden their understanding
of historical and social phenomena.
