Charlie Nanos, Top 20 Bluethumb Artist, Bluethumb 2023 Affordable Arts Fair representative, Bluethumb Art Prize finalist 2023 & 2022, Bluethumb featured & rising star artist 2022 and 2023 established artist, my hand built studio sits just off the Mornington Peninsula, i've embarked on a transformative journey from tradesman to a full time artist. In 2021, a rare heart condition forced me to leave my trade, and find solace and healing through the world of art. My aim now is to weave storytelling and nostalgia into my artworks, infusing them with vibrant colours and a touch of sentimentality. Through my unique and simplistic styles, i strive to transport viewers into a realm of cherished memories and imaginative narratives.
Throughout the last few years these original designs have gained quickly popularity attracting interest from various interior magazines and designers with features and spreads in Home designs, Forbes, The Block, Temple & Webster to name a few, works sold to feature Melbourne interior designers & sports identities, featured in galleries from Melbourne, Sorrento and Queensland. My artwork continues to grow to a wider audience with international sales including the United Sates, Hong Kong the UAE, Europe, New Zealand & Singapore.
I continue to make my artwork as accessible as possible with flexible pricing and quality sustainable Australian framing, I'd much rather see my original art hanging and bringing joy to someone’s interior than sitting in an online cart.
I continue to grow as an artist with each day and I feel excited and privileged you have chosen to watch my journey unfold.
