About the Artwork & Up the Moon Series

Golden Dragon – 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 Golden Dragon, Christeas channels these themes through an intricate, highly expressive figure rendered in radiant golden yellow, fiery crimson red, deep violet, and purple hues, accented with expressive white linear marks and sweeping ink loops. The piece radiates emotional energy and resilience, guiding viewers toward growth, freedom, and a higher sense of self.
