Charl Reineke

Charl discovered his passion for art at a young age but initially followed a career in the corporate world. Years later, he returned to his creative roots, reigniting his love for painting and self-expression. Now based in Sea Point, Cape Town, Charl draws daily inspiration from the powerful natural elements that surround him—the vast ocean, dramatic skies, and majestic mountains.

Working primarily with acrylics, Charl creates bespoke abstract pieces that explore the connection between nature, spirit, and emotion. He is deeply motivated by the vibrancy of colour, using bold, expressive palettes to evoke feeling and movement. His work often channels the energy of flora, fauna, and mythical transformation.

Signature pieces include Cosmic Storm, with its intense blacks, purples, and golds; Phoenix Rising, a celebration of rebirth in radiant oranges and fiery reds; and The Wave Calling, a meditation on depth and emotion in the rich blues of the ocean. Each artwork captures the dynamic forces of nature and the emotional landscapes they reflect.

Every piece is one of a kind and can be tailored to your size and colour preferences. Charl’s work speaks of inner fire, passion, and the enduring connection between the human spirit and the natural world.
