Born in 1972, Gregos, grew up in the northern suburbs of
Paris (Gonesse, Villiers le Bel). Self-taught, his first steps in
street art were in Graffiti painting during the late 80s, early
90s. In 1997, after 2 years in Athens, Greece, he starts
experimenting with sculpting and molding techniques.
In 2003, he leaves for Boston, Massachusetts, USA where he
initiates himself to acrylic and oil paintings.
Back in Paris in 2006, he goes back to his first love : street
art. In the Montmartre district where he now lives, he decides
to participate and mingle in the ever present street art in this
area of Paris. He invents his own 3D concept using all the
techniques he has developed and taught himself over the
years, and creates a replicate of his face, tongue out or
smiling, that he paints and glues on the walls of Paris.
Each face is a sort of self-portrait of the day to express his
humors, his past, present, and future, everything that makes
Gregos…
As of today, more than 500 faces have been installed, in Paris
mostly, but also in other towns of France and of the world :
