"ABSTRACT ART IS THE PICTURE OF HUMAN EMOTIONS"
Original Abstract Art.
Decades of Painting.
A Lifetime of Stories in Color.
Gregory Christeas, a celebrated Greek national hero and acclaimed abstract artist, draws inspiration from a life shaped by freedom, history, and the sea. His work explores movement, emotion, and the unspoken rhythms of existence. From his early Paris days — where Picasso called his art “strong, very strong” — to groundbreaking exhibitions and world acclaim, Gregory’s art invites you to experience stories in color, motion, and soul.
A Journey of Rhythm and Soul
Original abstract paintings inspired by the undulating rhythms of the sea, Gregory Christeas’ Parallels Series evolved over two decades from his abstract seascapes. The ‘Parallels’ introduce infinite abstract forms, morphing like a wandering mind in search of the realization of beauty.

What Is Abstract
Modern Art?
by Gregory Christeas
Abstract modern art, as I have said in so many places, is that it's the picture of human emotions.
Colorful. Powerful. Spontaneous. Messy. Conflicting. Textured. Layered. And so much more.
Abstract modern art isn't Euclidean or Cartesian.
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.
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.
