Berlin-based SNYDER, known by his artist name, makes contemporary urban art from large scale murals to studio paintings and sculptures. His work has become world-renowned through the many murals & collaborations he has successfully completed in recent years. Working cross-disciplinary he is also a trained architect looking back at numerous planned and realized buildings of different functions in several countries. SNYDER's art blends majestic harmony with iridescent power and often depicts endangered animal species, rendered with soulful depth on various media. Incorporating chromatic aberrations, SNYDER challenges modern visual perception, urging viewers to look beyond digital screens and reconnect with the natural world. His urban-adapted animal motifs captivate and draw in passers-by, encouraging a return to instinctive perceptual behavior. SNYDER's art has been shown in Germany, USA, Indonesia, Switzerland, France, Georgia, Austria and Spain.
