Description

Mountain Memory—Abstract Painting by Gregory Christeas
from The Parallels Series

Mountain Memory expresses Gregory Christeas’ vision of abstraction as an inner ascent shaped by memory, pressure, and persistence. Layers of red, gold, and deep blue accumulate and fracture across the surface, forming shifting fields of tension that echo states of thought still in motion. The painting carries the weight of effort and continuation—of something unresolved yet actively unfolding.

Christeas approaches the canvas as psychological terrain rather than visual depiction. Forms emerge, collide, and dissolve, mirroring the unstable rhythm of recollection and self-confrontation. Color becomes both structure and emotion, transforming lived experience into visual force. The work does not describe a place; it embodies remembrance itself—dense, luminous, fragmented, and enduring.
