Grigory Butin (aka Grigory Bars) is one of the most gifted automotive artists I\u2019ve seen whilst perusing the Internet. Proportions, color, stance; nearly every piece he creates is amazing. Born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, he was bitten by the creative bug early on. We find out about how he got his start.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Why did you change your name?<\/strong>
\nMy actual name is Grigory Butin, but Grigory Bars is an old nickname that I was given in high school. I don\u2019t exactly remember how I got it, but I still use it. Sometimes I find that my nickname is more known than my real name, and often this creates funny situations \u263a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When did you start to draw?<\/strong>
As far as I can remember I\u2019ve always liked to draw. My parents are both architects, so I lived in a very creative atmosphere and they tried to instill creative flair. I showed a craving for music from an early age too and went to private music piano lessons for seven or eight years. For a long time, I thought I would be a musician. However, after I turned 15, I went to art school and this changed everything. There I received academic drawing skills and developed a love for art that helped me a lot later, in university. I remember that time with great warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
