Gregor is one the most versatile artists I ever got the chance to find, while researching. He goes from graffiti to fashion design, to book illustration and still life drawings  so easily, it’s quite difficult to believe it’s the same guy doing all this artworks.

What is also surprising is that despite the fact the he is so versatile, and it could easily look like he doesn’t own a style, in each type of drawing he does, it is unique and look so different from what I have seen at others. It could be like a nonsense thing, because everybody has their own, unique style but it’s not always as bold and easy to see from a long distance.

One of my favorite from his works is the still life with the cooking tools, because I have a background in traditional drawing, and I love when I see such beautiful technical drawing, and the way he shadowed is so delicate, it’s just beautiful the way it faded into the white of the page.

The contrast between the still life and this bold graphic drawing of the girl, it’s so big, but that is exactly what makes his works so exciting. I love the bold decoration compared to the fine lines on the girl's hair and portrait.
