JUST TO NAME A FEW.
GREIKO DEVELOPED THE MIXED TECHNIQUE OR "TECNICA MIXTA" WHICH IS THE ART OF UTILIZING ALL AVAILABLE MEDIUMS AND MATERIALS .
THE LACK OF REGULAR MATERIAL WAS NEVER A BARRIER FOR GREICO'S ART.
HE USES IN ALL HIS PIECES, OILS, ACRYLICS, PASTEL STICKS, WAX CRAYONS, COLOR MARKERS/PENCILS, AND INKS.
WHEN HE COULD NOT FIND REAL CANVAS HE PAINTED ON CARDBOARD FROM EMPTY BOXES, COLOR CONSTRUCTION PAPER, REGULAR WHITE COPY PAPER, ANYTHING THAT WOULD HOLD THE ART IDEA.
GREIKO'S ART IS ABSTRACT AND MODERNISM; HOWEVER, HE REVEALS THE LOVE AND PASSION FOR HIS NATIVE CUBA IN THE CHOSEN ELEMENTS OF HIS PIECES.
