ARTIST STATEMENT
KEF!, was born in Aachen and raised in a small German western town called
Übach-Palenberg. He moved to London in 2013 after seeing the vibrant street
art scene and feeling that there was a place for his style. In 2015, he decided
to move to Berlin attracted by its alternative lifestyle.
he intricate style of KEF!’s work can be described as abstract graffiti.
He speaks about the peace and harmony within the lines he creates and that
the mission of his current life is to spread these two aspects. KEF! believes that
there is an disorder in the material word and the only way he can change
something is to transmit the feeling of harmony through his paintings. Every
single painting is like a piece of a puzzle but also complete in itself.
As an artist he works instinctively taking inspiration from Buddhist teachings
and nature. Nature contains for KEF! the utmost beauty on this planet.
KEF!’s work can now be seen all across the globe and has been working among
others with Urban Outfitters, Park Lane Hotel Hong Kong and Printemps Paris.
