The Artist
KUB, whose real name is Adel DJEBALI, is a polymath artist born in 1974 in the Hauts-de-Seine, where he grew up in Bagneux. Fascinated from an early age by drawing, mathematics, and geometric forms, he naturally turned his studies toward the world of art to refine his knowledge and technique.
Driven by a desire to explore an art form that belongs to no established movement, in 2010, at the age of thirty-six, he created Alquarism : a movement inspired by the name Al-Khwarizmi, the Persian scholar regarded as the father of algorithms and algebra.
Work
His creations are distinguished by the combined use of sculpture, drawing, painting, science, and algebra, echoing the legacy of a true polymath.
Each piece is crafted with meticulous precision, its geometry concealing a codified language rooted in the golden ratio.
The themes he often explores on his canvases draw inspiration from spirituality, history, and cutting-edge technology.
Each, in its own way, tells a story, inviting the viewer to delve into humanity’s accumulated knowledge through an enigmatic puzzle that only contemplation can unveil.
Alquarism, a neologism destined to find its place in the encyclopedia of art, has already left its mark through its innovative way of transmitting knowledge while awakening curiosity about the origins of creation.
The world itself is a work of art, within which lies the mystery of its Creator.
Exhibitions
For KUB, every exhibition is above all an encounter, a moment essential dialogue. It is not only about showing, but about transmitting. To speak about his art is to offer the key to a coded language: that of ALQUARISM.
Through his works, KUB seeks to reveal the silent perfection that shapes the world, the one inscribed by The Creator in every form, every proportion, every number. His compositions reflect this quest for understanding, where science, mathematics, and faith converge
to decipher the hidden harmony of reality.
In these exchanges with the public, the artist does not simply unveil his work, he opens a dialogue between reason and mystery, between humanity and The Divine.

In the Briand district of Mulhouse, the artist KUB, also known as Adel Djebali, presents his works under the title Alquarism as part of the Sensible exhibition series organized by the Dédale network.A contemporary artist, KUB explores, through his creations, a wide range of universes, blending authenticity, history, enigmas, and codes. Seeking to provoke curiosity and draw the eye, KUB deconstructs, disassembles, and redefines myths.
His approach aims to question the history of a theme, to develop it, and to open a new perspective on art.His works are the result of extensive research, enriched by travel, encounters, and opportunities.Through Alquarism, he explains, KUB expresses his own vision of historical, religious, and societal phenomena. His art, both enigmatic and intriguing, is on display until July 14.
Art Classes for Children
Creating with children means returning to the very origin of art, the place where emotion comes before technique, and where everything becomes possible. KUB loves creating with children and drawing inspiration from their unique way of perceiving art.
He is fascinated by the natural sensitivity that every child carries from an early age : A pure creativity, free from judgment.
Convinced that all children are artists, each in their own way,he sees in them the most beautiful expression of imagination and spontaneous truth.
Alongside them, he rediscovers the purity of the gesture, the wonder before form, and the freedom within creation.
For him, childhood is the truest territory of art, a space where everything remains possible, where curiosity comes before rules, and beauty is born from play.
Through his experience, KUB has learned that children are deeply open to art, as long as one knows how to speak to them, to listen, and to trust their imagination.
In every workshop, he doesn’t just teach them how to create; he teaches them how to see differently, to think with their hands, and to dream with reason. For in the eyes of children lies the promise of art yet to come.
