Every artist will tell you that with each final piece of artwork comes with a story; each piece with its own story, its own version of how life became. And it is with this knowledge that Ceet presents to you this collection of his pieces of art, all and each a portrayal of a fraction of a time in his life with their own happenings independent from one another. This is the world that Ceet created for himself and in turn nurtured and introduced into our world, making it possible for us to not just imagine his creative world but to take part in it, marvel in it and thus making it a part of our own creative world.World-renowned Graffiti artist, Ceet (pronounced “Cee-tee”), is originated from the art scene in Toulouse, a town in south of France. Born in Algeria on the border to Morocco, he has been seduced by transforming letters and colors from his early childhood years.
All to create a new design, his own world, he has shared his vision of graffiti and design to shake up the way we think and look at design and graffiti.
Ceet ‘s work appears in prestigious brands like Prada, Ecko Unlt, Adidas…
He has opened up to new projects. Always in search of perfection, he is experimenting his talents with complex pieces. All mediums are approached, from murals, to canvas as well as creating his own street wear brand (El Camion). Traveling throughout the globe, Ceet is installing himself as a true talent.
Murals have become the most important part of his production and the focal point of his talent.
Since 2003, he’s been very active in China with divers exhibits, events and artistic performances. Advertising firms have also called on his talents. Whether it’s for commissioned murals or an exhibit, Ceet stays busy on various continents.
His style reflects his energetic personality and his Graff world. The approach is based on a play of colors and wild style lettering; you could define it as a mechanical yet sophisticated designing style.

Eager to share and let the public discover his world, he’s currently considered among the leaders of the French Graff movement.

Chinese Version:
Ceet Fouad, 領導世界塗鴉藝術的當代藝術家，亦是天生的娛樂家，擅長把身邊事物透過藝術演繹成活生生的故事呈現于觀眾眼前，帶給人們無限驚喜與歡樂。
生於法國的Ceet對塗鴉藝術的追求和熱誠始於其家鄉圖魯茲，城市中大大小小的角落早已佈滿他的塗鴉藝術創作，把藝術搬離藝術館，為這個小城添加了一份獨特色彩。
Ceet的塗鴉風格屬於現代塗鴉風格的主流–狂野派，此類風格特色是把字體完全變型，透過強烈的色彩對比配搭讓人留下深刻印象，因此特別講求色彩運用的技巧。
具有強烈個人風格的Ceet靈感無處不再，是位實而不華的藝術家，精細而不俗套的作品不但反映出他高超的狂野派技巧，更突出其充滿活力與朝氣的個性及積極的人生態度。愛與人分享的Ceet會透過牆壁、雕塑、平面造型設計和油畫作為溝通的重要媒介，將自己的理想、失意、經驗亳無保留地呈現于觀眾眼前，分享自己最切身的生活體驗和展現最真誠的生活態度。
八十年代中，Ceet開始專注於油畫藝術的創作。為求完美，他以一絲不苟的態度對待創作中每個細節，作品中每一分一吋也流露著他對生命的表現力。而他優質的創作亦嶄露頭角，美術館、當代藝術展覽及生活藝術品牌的邀請反映了觀眾對他的作品的認同和肯定，同時亦奠定了他在國際藝術舞臺上的重要地位。Ceet的藝術才華已得到國際的承認，其作品更於眾多國際性塗鴉及街頭藝術展覽內展出。
二零零三年，Ceet離開法國選擇到中國繼續分享他的藝術才華與熱誠。自那年起，他一直活躍於中國各種類型展覽、藝術專案及美術演出牌如 Hainan RendezVous 2011和 Le French May，受多個廣告公司和生活藝術品牌賞識，如今他已成為多個國際知名品牌如Adidas, Airbus, Ecko, Loewe, Moiselle以及Prada的藝術大使。
