About the Artwork & Parallels Series

Summer is an original abstract painting by Gregory Christeas from the Parallels Series, capturing the radiance, energy, and shifting sensations of the season. Turquoise, coral, gold, red, and luminous passages move across the surface in richly layered patterns, suggesting sunlight, warmth, water, and fragments of memory. Rather than depicting a particular landscape, Summer transforms the feeling of the season into an abstract field of color, movement, and light—inviting the viewer to discover a personal experience within its intricate layers.

Gregory Christeas creates infinite abstract forms that transform like a wandering spirit in search of the realization of beauty. This series was developed over six decades of exploring Abstract Expressionism. His forms evoke a Socratic dialogue through the use of tension, contradiction, and gradual revelation. The viewer becomes engaged in an active process of observation, inquiry, and discovery. Every encounter transforms into a personal dialogue between the artwork and the spirit of the observer.

The Parallels Series presents the artist’s vision of abstract art as a reflection of human emotion. Each painting in the series functions as a self-portrait of Gregory Christeas, reflecting a lifetime shaped by Greek history, culture, memory, and personal experience.

By applying metallic and fluorescent pigments in multiple layers, Gregory Christeas creates luminous fields where light becomes a structural, tangible element. Summer reveals radiant layers of turquoise, coral, gold, red, and white that shift with changing light, creating a delicate balance between movement and serenity.

Through expressive form, color, and movement, Christeas transforms emotion into visual poetry that resonates with depth and quiet intensity. Parallels represents the purest form of abstract art, capturing human emotion through the continual interaction of color, light, and the observer.
