Christos Theofilis (born 1956 in Piraeus) is a Greek painter who, after a brief stumble at the Athens School of Fine Arts, turned to the Merchant Navy and later devoted himself full‑time to art. He discovered he’s colour‑blind, a quirk that pushed him toward bold, semi‑tonal compositions and helped him develop a distinctive visual language
.
He’s been a prolific exhibitor—over 160 solo shows—including early milestones like Epithanatios Synthesi at the Ora Cultural Center (1981) and The Moon at To Trito Mati Gallery (1989). After a two‑decade hiatus, he resurfaced with a 2007 retrospective at the “Ekfrasi – Gianna Grammatopoulou” gallery, presenting works such as The Portrait of Dorian Gray and a limited‑edition album celebrating Oscar Wilde
.
In 2000 he founded the alternative cultural hub Art Act, which became a meeting point for artists and curators. The organization still runs events and exhibitions, keeping his rebellious, anti‑commercial spirit alive in Athens
.
Key moments
1973 – Failed entrance exams, shifted to the Onassis School of Engineering.
1982 – Awarded by the European Economic Community for his painting.
2000 – Launched Art Act, a platform for experimental art.
