Lorenzo Charles

Born and raised in the southern suburbs of Cape Town, I am a self-taught artist specializing in hyperrealism, working primarily with graphite and charcoal to create strikingly detailed black-and-white drawings, as well as acrylic paintings that bring a vivid, lifelike quality to color.

With a deep passion for realism and precision, I focus on capturing intricate textures, subtle expressions, and emotional depth in my subjects.

My work reflects countless hours of dedicated practice and an ongoing commitment to pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved through traditional mediums.
Through each piece, I aim to evoke a sense of presence and connection, inviting viewers to engage with the finer details that often go unnoticed.
