About this artwork
This artwork was inspired by, and made in memory of, the Greek Freedom Fighters executed by the Nazis in Athens during World War II. It specifically visualizes the wall in Kaisariani, where the mass execution known as “The 200 of Kaisariani” took place on May 1, 1944, carried out as a reprisal… for the killing of a German general by Greek Resistance forces.

Gregory Christeas, born in Athens, Greece, in 1944, discovered his passion for abstract art early, guided by his mother’s nurturing influence. Over decades, he has built an illustrious career marked by numerous exhibitions, including the Cultural Olympiad Athens 2004—where the Ministry of Progress and the National Department of Tourism presented 125 of his works. His painting Parallel captures the essence of the Aegean Sea, translating childhood memories into waves of form and color. Each stroke reflects fluidity, emotion, and introspection, inviting viewers into a meditative journey. Deeply connected to nature, Christeas channels the rhythm of sea and sky, revealing harmony within chaos. Humble and contemplative, he allows his art to speak in silence—an invitation to pause and find beauty in the present. As Gregory Christeas continues to paint, his brushstrokes become whispers of wisdom, his colors fragments of dreams.
