Artist Directory: Theo Polymorphos  

Theo Polymorphos is a member of the Beautiful Bizarre Artist Directory

Theo Polymorphos is a North American painter of imaginative realism, whose art explores the mysterious journey of the soul, exploring themes of ecstasy, initiation and metamorphosis. Taking a deeply personal approach, he builds on these themes with symbols and motifs from his own dreams, spiritual practices and natural environment. After a decade wandering the globe as a consultant, he rekindled his childhood love of drawing and painting and quickly became obsessed.

The confidence gained from learning traditional drawing and painting methods unlocked the door to his imagination, catalysing a total reorientation in life. He recently completed a three year course in imaginative realism under Tenaya Sims at the Georgetown Atelier in Seattle, Washington. He currently resides in Central Florida where he continues to develop his portfolio. 

The protagonists of Theo Polymorphos’ paintings navigate otherworlds brimming with life and symbol. There they are enriched and transformed through encounters with the more than human—from plants and animals to elements and luminaries. In these visual stories, spirits of many shapes instruct us to follow our light, don new masks, and blossom from the depths of our being. Through successive metamorphoses we delve deep into the mysteries of life and death, of polymorphic identity, and beauty born from pain.

Theo’s work takes inspiration from ancient myths and folktales, psychology and spirituality, and Nature herself. He is especially fascinated by ancient Orphism and Greek mystery religions, as well as the ecstatic art and philosophy of the Romantic and Symbolist movements. He enjoys playing at the liminal space between convincing naturalism and dreamy idealism, creating a numinous quality in his work.
