Charles A. Borrell
b.1964, Volos, Greece.

Charles Borrell’s recent work has assumed a fundamental association with his most formative of memories. As a child growing up in the mythologically enchanted foot hills of Mount Pelion in the port city of Volos, Greece, his work is a visual translation of the iconic history and of the rich environmental beauty of his childhood horizons. To add essence and depth to his paintings he incorporates natural elements, including sand, collected from Greek’s stunning beaches.

Charles comments;
“I use these experiences and themes as my palette and as a departure point from which to create contemporary and abstract representations of seascapes and endless horizons. My visual language and inspiration is derived from the essence of the atmospheric changes and moods of the sea and its seductive relationship with the sky where emotion seeks solace between twilight and the first light of dawn.”

It is no coincidence that the essential themes of water, time and space have coloured his life so profoundly, influencing his creativity as integral components of his imagery.

Charles has held a number of exhibitions including solo exhibitions in Greece and the Battersea Contemporary Art Fair, London.
