“Addicted to black & white” – This is how Aaren Grey, a trained fashion designer, describes his artistic focus. Born in Dortmund in 1978, it all began in 1982 with a sunflower. Even today, Aaren Grey still possesses his first drawing of this flower, created when he was just four years old. Art has always been an integral part of his life.

Today, Grey uses the expression of black and white as a deliberate step towards the essential, skillfully incorporating it into his art. His repertoire includes graphic elements and drawings that can appear both expressive and serene. He finds inspiration everywhere: in music, literature, films, conversations, walks in the woods, or in interactions with animals and current events. History and much more also provide him with inspiration for his choice of motifs and their subsequent realization.

Through his art, Grey seeks to penetrate the core, shedding any burdens and distractions to undergo a kind of inner cleansing process. The things that matter to Grey include freedom, sincerity, environmental protection, sustainability, and consumerism critique. His love for forests, tranquility, love, and acceptance is also reflected in some of his motifs.
