Original Abstract Paintings—The ‘Parallel Series’ by Gregory Christeas
The Parallel Series marks a bold new chapter in Gregory Christeas’ lifelong artistic journey.
Inspired by the flowing, rhythmic lines shaped by the sea’s endless motion, this latest body of work has been quietly forming for over two decades. It traces its roots back to Christeas’ early Waterfront Series and abstract seascapes—and now, it arrives fully realized: refined, resonant, and emotionally alive.
What began as a simple exploration of movement soon revealed something deeper.
Using wide 4″–8″ spatulas, Christeas applies thick paste paint in long, parallel strokes, allowing only the paint to touch the canvas. This technique creates layered transparency—colors breathing through one another—resulting in a tactile texture that feels bold, organic, and powerfully expressive.
It’s a method that invites not just the eye, but also the hand and the heart.
Christeas’ forms aren’t just seen—they’re felt.
Parallels is more than a visual experience.
It’s personal.
Each painting is a chapter in his expressive language.
speaking in strong, parallel rhythms—echoes of the sea,
captured in color, movement, and soul.
The Parallels Series is a visual experience, inviting you into an emotional dialogue —
a chance to uncover the quiet truths behind each painting’s story.
Each work is built from memories—shaped by a turbulent life
and a childhood spent playing along the sea —
where waves taught him rhythm, stillness, and motion.
All captured here… in color, in movement, in soul.
“Strong, very strong work.” — Pablo Picasso
“Christeas’ brushstrokes become whispers of wisdom, his colors fragments of dreams.” — Ann Williams, ArtMuse
“His work is a testament to the power of art to evoke emotion, inspire exploration, and connect us to the deeper rhythms of life.”

Original abstract paintings by Gregory Christeas…
A life of courage, reinvention, and a relentless creative spirit shapes them.
From the beginning, his mother encouraged him:
paint freely… express without fear…
Let the color speak.
But his path soon led beyond the canvas, into history.
In Paris, escaping the Greek dictatorship, Christeas met Picasso.
The master sensed something raw… unresolved.
“You must fight for what you love the most,” Picasso said.
Those words became a mission.
Christeas returned to Greece—not to create, but to resist.
And when democracy returned, so did the brush.
Charged with purpose and truth.
In 2004, he was invited by the Greek Minister of Progress
and sponsored by the National Tourism Office
to exhibit 125 original works at the Cultural Olympiad Athens 2004.
On opening night, he and his fellow freedom fighters were honored as national heroes.
Today, every painting carries that history.
Each form is a memory.
Each color is a conviction.
The Parallels series artworks are lived experiences.
Expressed in form and color.
And now, they wait for your story to meet theirs.
