Grigorios Ilaridis was born in Athens, Greece, in 1997 and currently lives and works in Antwerp. In 2023, he earned his MFA degree at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerp, where he developed a layered practice that blends two-dimensional collage and three-dimensional sculpture.

Working with materials like acrylic, metal, plaster and wax, Ilaridis explores themes of mythology, censorship, and contemporary storytelling. In 2024, his trajectory saw promising developments, including his participation to Art Brussels, receiving the distinguished Mark Macken Prize, and presenting his debut solo exhibition, KΛEOΣ, at Base-Alpha Gallery in Antwerp.
