Christos Theofilis indeed stands out as a pivotal figure in the Greek art community. His establishment of 'Art Act' in 2000 marked a significant contribution to the cultural landscape, particularly during Greece's economic downturn. By creating an environment free from commercial constraints, 'Art Act' allowed for a more authentic exploration of artistic expression and creativity. This initiative not only helped Theofilis to maintain and expand his influence but also provided a supportive network for other artists and cultural administrators. 

The founding of the Art Act Institute in 2007 further solidified his legacy, offering a space dedicated to education, research, and the preservation of artistic works, which are crucial for the development and sustainability of contemporary art in Greece.

Art critics like Costas Stavropoulos have recognized Theofilis's innovative approach to visual art, highlighting his resilience and adaptability in his artistic journey. The documentation of his work through personal blogs, exhibitions, and other media has ensured that his influence and contributions continue to be recognized and studied. His efforts demonstrate a deep commitment to fostering an environment where art can thrive both culturally and academically.
