AURELIA* Print

...LIFE IS AN ENDURING MYSTERY... Born in Dortmund in 1978, the fashion designer Aaren Grey embarked on his artistic journey at a tender age. His passion for art ignited in 1982 when he began collecting sunflowers, marking the start of his artistic endeavors at just four years old. From this early age, art became an integral part of Grey's life, shaping his identity and future career. Grey's artistic philosophy revolves around the stark yet harmonious use of black and white, forming the logical foundation of his work. His repertoire extends beyond fashion to include graphic elements and drawings, striking a balance between expressive and serene for his audience. He draws inspiration from diverse sources: music, literature, films, conversations, current events, forest walks and interactions with animals. These elements fuel his storytelling, guiding the selection and creation of his motifs. Grey's art aims to resonate deeply with his viewers, offering them a moment of relief, distraction and a form of inner cleansing. His work reflects core values such as freedom, honesty, environmental protection, sustainability, and consumerism critique. A profound love for forests and a yearning for peace are also mirrored in his motivations, making his creations more than just visual experiences, but also messages with profound meanings.
