About the artist
Theo Polymorphos is a North American painter of imaginative realism, whose art explores the mysterious journey of the soul. He currently lives and works in Melbourne, Florida. He studied imaginative realist painting at the Georgetown Atelier in Seattle, Washington. His works have garnered numerous awards, including Finalist in the Arts Renewal Center’s International Salon and the inclusion of his paintings on the Lunar Codex.

He recently debuted his first solo exhibition, “Lux in Profundis” in Melbourne, Florida.
Artwork Themes & Subject Matter
An adept of the Orphic mysteries, Theo Polymorphos records ethereal visions on canvas, in an evocative bricolage of obscure myths reimagined and personal narratives amplified. Inspired by the countercultural spiritualities of the ancient Orphics and modern Romantics, Polymorphos celebrates his own initiatory journey through visions of a queer otherworld where the youthful protagonists of his paintings are transfigured through encounters with the more than human world of gods and spirits, flora and fauna, elements and luminaries. Brimming with esoteric symbolism—from slithering serpents to glowing hearts—his work explores themes of ecstasy, initiation, and metamorphosis.
Press
Theo Polymorphos’ paintings have been featured in notable magazine and online sources including Art Renewal Center, International Realism, 16th International ARC Salon.
