About the Artwork & Up the Moon Series

Dragon’s Nest 2 – Up the Moon Series Original Painting by Gregory Christeas was featured in his landmark solo exhibition Art and Freedom at the Cultural Olympiad Athens 2004. Available for direct acquisition from the artist’s studio near the beach, this piece comes signed by Gregory Christeas with a Certificate of Authenticity and free worldwide shipping. Measuring 23 × 30.5 cm (9″ × 12″), this artwork is rendered with ink and fluid pigments on acid-free heavyweight paper, combining rich historical resonance with expressive abstract gesture.

The Up the Moon Series emerged from the psychological aftermath of the artist’s struggle against the 1967 junta. Born from a deep personal narrative of transformation, the series explores themes of struggle, transcendence, and rebirth. Through organic forms, intense celestial symbolism, and dynamic linear gestures, Christeas constructs compositions that break away from traditional flat abstraction.

In Dragon’s Nest 2, Christeas channels these themes through circular, orb-like nested structures rendered in warm coral red, rose pink, and glowing yellow washes, overlaid with dark purple expressive ink gestures and fluid loops. The piece radiates emotional energy and resilience, guiding viewers toward growth, freedom, and a higher sense of self.
