Greg Salvatori is a self-taught painter and photographer published in +30 countries.
His visionary art is playful yet sophisticated, blending contemporary techniques and aesthetics with classical evocations. His photographs are filled with surreal fantasies and composed with the most precise eye. His paintings are joyful and deliberate, making full use of the vibrance of color and innovative media and tools like metallic paints and Augmented Reality.

Keenly focused on his imagination and the richness of his experiences, Greg sees each image in his mind’s eye first. While the subject is often playful, the process is careful and meticulous, creating deliberate and impeccable artwork. Drama, technique, color, subject, and light come together to create arresting, almost meditative images with nuanced meanings and questions that hide behind the attractive surface.

Beauty and joy are the reason d’être for his work, revealing the excitement and the innate thankfulness so typical of those who have seen darkness and survived it. Born on the French-Italian border, Greg’s childhood became unbearable when his mother joined a cult. Bullied at school, abused at home, and living in extreme poverty, Greg started to work at a very early age to escape. After succeeding in putting himself to high school and university he started working at Ferragamo’s headquarters and learned directly from top creatives, talented artists, world famous designers, and brilliant business leaders. He opened his studio in London in 2009, in New York in 2014 and his gallery in Provincetown in 2019. He lives in New York with his husband, Edgar Award nominee writer James Polchin, and Albert, the yellow lab who loves tiaras.
