Based in Marseille, France Khaled Alwarea is a Syrian architect and multidisciplinary artist whose work spans across visual art, architecture, urban art, filmmaking, digital art, and installation.

Khaled's work is driven by two primary directions. As the co-founder of UV LAB and the creative responsible, he explores the intersections of art, architecture, and urban art to transform inhabited spaces and redefine them.
As KhAl, his work often delves into themes of existentialism, sexuality, individuality, and freedom of expression.

He draws upon a wide range of new technologies, including algorithms, artificial intelligence, and computational design, utilizing a variety of software and hardware to create unique and innovative works.
