Simon Röhlen KEF! (b. 1989, Germany) is an abstract graffiti/street/urban artist and designer. He approaches art as a spiritual practice and takes inspiration from nature, philosophy, and Buddhism. His work is smooth, joyful, and creates positive energy using swirling lines that are at once free-flowing and intricately abstract, like those found in nature. Harmony, peace, and hypnotic are words the artist uses to describe his work. Lines and curves are integral to his compositions enhanced by soft coloring among the strong black outlines. KEF! often keeps track of the number of lines within his work.

KEF! art has been seen in worldwide festivals, exhibitions, and galleries. He has collaborated with businesses including Urban Outfitters, Mollitor, Le Printemps, among others. Murals and street art may be found on walls in the Far East, London, Bristol, Berlin, Paris, and Tel Aviv. Truly a rising star in the art world, KEF! has received critical as well as commercial success creating both interior and exterior works.
