Hector de Gregorio is interested in seducing the viewer, and his deliciously dark photographic images certainly act as a visual lure. In his images nothing is sacred, containing as they do religious overtones and something beyond mere fetishism.
De Gregorio graduated from London’s Royal College of Art in 2009, with a Master’s Degree in Printmaking, where he developed his labour-intensive way of working. Each image involves extensive research and costume making, photography, digital imaging and hand-finishing.
Hector de Gregorio has exhibited widely, with exhibitions in London, Berlin and Milan. His deliciously modern portraiture is held in the collections of Lady Victoria Conran and Theo Fennell.
