1000 shades of Grey

Gray, 33 years old, and his brazen and brilliant collages

1. What do you do for a living? Are you an artist? How and when did you started?
For living I’m an Accountant, I can consider myself as an “Artist” since I’m a painter and an amateur photographer, which explains my interest in the collage artwork that i have started in 2018
2. 3 words to define yourself?
Cool, funny, bold
3. Don’t you think there is more pornography in some violent images broadcast on TV or web than in nudity?
That’s totally right!
4.Your collages are fantastic! How was the idea ?
When I first saw this type of art online, I thought of doing something similar with better details, so the real photos merge perfectly with the paintings, and that’s what differs my work from others
5. Your greatest job satisfaction?
My satisfaction is when I succeed in finding the perfect picture that would seamlessly merge in the painting & the procedure of creating a digital puzzle of works by different eras (baroque and now) and different media (painting and photography)
6.You often use images of naked people in your works. What relationship do you have with your body?
I am pretty confident with my body, I admire the body’s beauty in its different shapes regardless of the gender

7. The 3 favorite songs?
There’s no favorite songs but I will just name 3 catchy songs I’ve been listening to this morning:
Piece Of Your Heart – Meduza & Alok Ft. Goodboys

Don’t Start Now – Dua Lipa

Dance Monkey – Tones and I

8. Which artists do you love and are they a source of inspiration for you?
Sandro Botticelli, Michelangelo, Louis-Jean-Francois Lagrenee, Jean-Léon Gérôme and many more. Each artist has his own perspective and style when it comes to nudity and beauty.
9. If this time you were able to really get into a painting, which would you like to enter?
Venus And Nymphs Bathing by Louis-Jean-Francois Lagrenee
10. What makes you more angry?
Injustice
11. Why is porn still a taboo subject today, in your opinion? Is the situation changing a little?
Porn is still a taboo because we’re living in a world full of diversity and many cultures are still very conservative.
12. How important are social media for your job?
I don’t consider @collagebygrey as a job , it’s just a window to spread art, and social media nowadays is the fastest way to do it.
13. If you close your eyes and concentrate on the place where you are, what do you smell?
Jasmine
14. What is the most sensual part of the body in your opinion?
I’ll name three parts: Genitals, nipples, eyes
15. If you now look up and look around, what is the object that first attracts your attention?
A framed picture of my family
16. If you could talk for an hour with a person of your choice in the world (living or not), who would you choose?
Mahatma Gandhi
17. Do you think the world can be saved? What can every single person do to make the world a better place?
LOVE
18. What advice would you give to a person who wanted to become an artist? What qualities are essential?
Some say that artists are born, and some say they are made, for me I believe in natural talent that always needs visionary to innovate
19. Your favorite movie scene?
When Dory meets Nemo… 🙂
Dory: Nemo? That’s a nice name!
20. Can you tell us about your works “Symmetry”
Symmetry, is a quick fun art done on Instagram… a photo flipped and rotated in order to get a unique pattern, I have divided it in 2 categories: urban and body you can check it out in my stories highlights.

21. You ask people to send you a picture of themselves to make your personalized collage. How does it work exactly? What are the times to see the work carried out and what requirements must the photo that is sent to you have?
When I first started, yeah definitely I was doing the approach, recently things have changed and people have started to send me their submissions.
At the same time if someone catches my attention, i wouldn’t hesitate asking them to send me their pics.
All pictures must be related to nudity & erotica
22. Do more women or men participate?
80% men! And I think that Instagram’s guidelines are more flexible with male nudity than women
23.I saw one of your last colleges, Robbie Williams. He also shared it on his profile. How did it happen? Is this your first time dealing with VIPs? Never had problems?
It has all started with Sam Smith when he reposted the artwork that i did for him which caught Robbie Williams’ attention and asked me to make a collage for him 🙂 it was an honor
24. A quote or phrase that represents you?
MAKE ART NOT WAR
25. Ask yourself a question and give yourself an answer.
Toilet paper, over or under? over hahahahah
