BIOGRAPHY
SneakHotep has built his reputation as one of the most daring and infamous figures in contemporary calligraffiti. Rooted in the language of the streets yet unafraid to enter the halls of luxury brands and international institutions, his work blurs the line between rebellion and refinement.
Born with a relentless drive to inscribe memory into walls, objects, and cityscapes, SneakHotep began with the raw energy of street calligraphy — letters sprayed in the dark, shapes carved into public consciousness. Over time, his practice grew into something larger: a bridge between urban culture, Arabic heritage, and futuristic design. His lines are not just forms, but living codes, carrying rhythm, poetry, and defiance.
What makes SneakHotep infamous is not only his bold collaborations, but also the unfiltered energy he carries from the streets into every project. His style is unmistakable — fluid Arabic-inspired strokes twisted with abstract forms, sometimes aggressive, sometimes meditative, but always commanding space. His works are not meant to be polite; they are meant to claim territory, provoke thought, and leave marks that cannot be erased.
He has become a figure who moves between worlds: the street and the institution, the underground and the luxury brand, the rebellious youth and the global collector. This duality gives his practice its edge, making him one of the few artists who can paint a hidden wall in the night and, in the same breath, collaborate with Versace, ASICS, or Etihad Airways.
SneakHotep’s journey is far from over. Each mural, each sculpture, and each collaboration adds to a growing mythos — that of an artist who never abandoned the street, but instead carried its raw electricity into every surface he touches. Whether etched into concrete in Sharjah, painted across Dubai’s skyline, or sculpted for international collectors, his work continues to expand the definition of what calligraffiti can be.
Infamous, unyielding, and unforgettable — SneakHotep stands as one of the defining voices of contemporary street calligraphy today.
