Meet GREGOIRE DEVIN | French Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with GREGOIRE DEVIN and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi GREGOIRE, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor for me is to believe in it and never give up. I keep in mind every day that I will succeed and that I must succeed. Even if it’s hard and work doesn’t pay off every time, you have to persist and always do more.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
As a self-taught artist, it was difficult at first to prove myself because I didn’t know the art world. I had to learn everything on my own like finding my style, finding people to help me, knowing how to exhibit my works and of course knowing the art market as a whole. Because of my motivation, I had to learn everything little by little. This gave me strength and determination. I think my art is the symbol of all this. I had the opportunity to meet a lot people and to make several collaborations thanks to my art. One of the most important is probably with the American sparkling wine brand Luc Belaire based in New York. I worked on four Art Series bottles that have been launched worldwide. It has been a pleasure for me to work with them and to share with the American rapper Rick Ross who is the brand ambassador.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I think I would introduce him to two neighborhoods in Paris. I’ll show him around Saint-Germain-Des-Prés, which I really like because it’s the mythical district of artists with very good restaurants, cafés, museums and art galleries. The banks of the Seine are very quickly accessible from this district, where I like to walk. The second district that I particularly like is Montmartre where you can meet many artists. The view of Paris is extraordinary down there.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
As Snoop Dogg said on Hollywood Walk Of Fame, “last but not least, I wanna thank me for believing in me, I wanna thank me for doing all this hard work, I wanna thank me for never quitting… ” I also want to thank my loved ones and the people who have supported me from the start.
