George Grie was born in the USSR on May 14, 1962. He graduated from the State University in 1985 with a BA (Honors) Degree in Fine Art and Applied Design education. From the very onset of his professional career he chose not to adopt traditional routes of domestic art styles, but instead followed the more controversial and demanding path of innovative neo-surrealistic painting.

The result of his endeavours during his relatively short fine-art painting and graphic career (1985 - 1998) brought Grie a considerable measure of success with several neo-surrealist shows in a number of European capitals. His paintings are concerned with the portrayal of strong and powerful images relying on visual impact. They are about capturing visual paradoxes, sometimes they depict calm and contemplative moments, solitude, and sometimes melancholy. There is a stillness in his themes, which conveys a sense of inner-reflection and self-observation.
In 1999, George Grie decided to transform his artistic career dramatcically when he moved to Toronto, Canada and studied the latest computer digital art techniques. He became a professional Multimedia Graphic Designer and joined IBM Corporation as a lead new media specialist. His prime interest is in comtemporary 3D modeling software and their applications. Applying his previous fine-art experience and classical painting education in new digital projects brings him a complete freedom of self-expression. His latest digital neo-surrealistic artworks are an extraordinary visual record of his conceptual thoughts, philosophic views, fantasies, and dreams. Often journeying into the subconscious, Grie's digital photo-realism artwork shows a magical and playful, dream-like world laced with mastery details. Supernatural illusions, mystic romanticism, spiritual magic, and delusional trance fantasies are all together presented in his virtual world. It is not always a comfortable and conventional world. There is a great deal of tension and alienation in the strange events taking place in the landscape of his imagination.
