Artworks by Chris Patargias

From an early age, Christos discovered his passion for painting. At ten, he took his first painting lessons and began creating his own artworks. He later earned a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Business Statistics in the United Kingdom and worked as a business controller in the oilfield sector until December 2019, when he chose to pursue his true calling as an artist. Working with acrylics, spray paint, brushes and spatulas, he creates paintings that explore memory, perception and human experience. His work reflects on identity, connection, vulnerability and belonging through figures, landscapes and fragments of everyday life.

Moving between observation and imagination, he builds each painting through layers of colour, gesture and texture, allowing the image to evolve organically. His paintings do not seek to tell a fixed story, but to create an open space where viewers can pause, reflect and discover something familiar within the unknown.
