Self-taught French artist dedicated to pop art, inspired mainly by street art and graffiti, his paintings and sculptures are made up of elements of modern consumerism and sometimes depicting historical figures, and even religious icons.

If a purpose is assigned to his art, this would perhaps be the irony that awakens in the viewer the crude immediacy that his work offers, in contrast to the continuous search for a deep meaning and a philosophical reason in art. Alben is chiefly influential in New Yok and France, but there are various works on display and in private collections in various places such as Italy, Dubai, London, Australia, Mexico, Zurich, and Hong Kong.
