Archer Defterios (b. 2000) is a Greek-American artist based in Los Angeles, California. His work explores the relationships between color, light, and texture, investigating how these elements shape perception. Beginning with stained canvases, Defterios develops each painting through hundreds of layers of paint, embracing a process driven by repetition, routine, and an exploration of how light, texture, and perception shape color. He works primarily with acrylic, oil, and fire.``
