Inspired to capture the unsurpassed beauty of Africa's wildlife on canvas since early childhood, Charles' progression as an artist has been simply phenomenal. Stock in trade wildlife snapshots freeze windows of African bush veld activity that are inspiring and truly unforgettable.
Painting professionally for the past 20 years has culminated in an unprecedented demand for the audacious talent that is the hallmark of the Magalies Valley-based artist. This has enabled Charles to tap into commissioned work for corporates and serious collectors, which has included the following: - Abstract - Ethnic - Portraits - Wildlife
The broad meaning of the word artist fits comfortably with the versatility found in Charles' painting styles and subject matter.
Travelling extensively throughout Southern Africa, exploring the uniqueness of the flora and fauna, and also doubling as an avid photographer, Charles has amassed a large collection of reference material.
"Each time I unroll a new canvas and prepare a surface for a new painting adventure," Charles says, "my spirit and soul are poured into what I can only describe as a labour of love for my people, love for the upliftment of the less fortunate, and love for my subject matter."
