For the love of painting & freedom

The paintings grew from the early classical influences of the training given by his father and from the encouragement of an early mentor, Sir Roland Penrose, renowned Surrealist, and co-founder of the Tate Museum in London. Though personally influenced by many noted artists, Charles is primarily a self-taught, and this perhaps is a reason for the unceasing freshness of creativity seen in his work.

His work is considerable in scope and variety. He has created work in various media; wood, metal and, bronze sculptures, graphite and pastel drawings, paintings in both oils and acrylics. His work has evolved from classical, figurative, to abstract and non-objective. In recent years it has morphed into digital media.
