Original Abstract Art.

Decades of Painting.

A Lifetime of Stories in Color.

Abstract art by Gregory Christeas, a celebrated Greek American artist of the Diaspora and national hero, is shaped by a life defined by freedom, history, and the sea. His work explores movement, emotion, and the unspoken rhythms of existence. From his early days in Paris—where Pablo Picasso described his work as “strong, very strong”—to major exhibitions and international recognition, Christeas’ art invites viewers to experience stories told through color, motion, and soul.

A Journey of Rhythm and Soul

Gregory Christeas’ Parallels Series, original abstract paintings developed over sixty years, are inspired by the sea’s rhythmic movement. The series explores evolving abstract forms, representing a continual search for beauty.

What Is Modern Abstract Art

by Gregory Christeas

My 'Parallels' introduce infinite abstract forms, morphing like a wandering mind in search of the realization of beauty. It's raw and immediate, filled with interpretive pressure. And 100% free in it's expression.
Modern abstract art is the picture of human emotions. Colorful. Powerful. Spontaneous. Messy. Conflicting. Textured. Layered. And so much more. Contemporary abstract art does not answer. It asks. It provokes. It unsettles. It frees.
"Christeas' abstract art isn't Euclidean or Cartesian. Christeas’ art is, in its essence, Socratic." Agamanon Varvitsiotis PHD
I never considered myself an impressionist (though Van Gogh is a favorite of mine), but the intention behind abstract modern art starts with an impression. An emotional polaroid of a relationship, a memory, a want, a need, a secret, a dream, an idea, a place...
But how this impression evolves? Abstract modern art is free from judgement in it's creation and what you see here is representative of a lifetime spent exploring colors, materials, and techniques that span youthful adventures, wars, family life, travel, and deep reflection.
I hope there's something here that inspires you and calls to you on a deep level. If it does, that's great. You're in good company. My work can be found in private collections and museums throughout the world. Admittedly, I'm too old to run my gallery on the island of Hydra, Greece (though I wish I could), but everything purchased here, comes directly from me and my studio near the beach.
Thanks for visiting.

Explore features, reviews, and profiles from leading art critics and global publications—where praise for Gregory Christeas spans decades, continents, and legends. Even Picasso himself once said, “Strong, very strong work.”

Christeas treats the canvas as psychological terrain rather than a visual representation. Forms collide and resolve, echoing the rhythm of reflection and contradiction that defines human awareness. Color becomes both material and emotion, creating a space where perception evolves over time and with attention. The work does not describe the world—it mirrors the motion of the mind itself.
