Charlie Nanos is a Melbourne-born artist based on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. After spending years as a tradesman, Charlie made the courageous transition to full-time artist following a 2021 diagnosis of a rare heart condition. Art became both his recovery and his calling — a way to reconnect with life through colour, movement, and storytelling.

Charlie’s work is defined by vibrant abstract compositions, modern forms, and expressive Australian landscapes, all rendered in his distinctive, simplistic style. His paintings capture the dynamic, quirky spirit of Australian cityscapes, evoking nostalgia while inviting the viewer into imaginative, narrative-driven worlds.

With over 800 original artworks sold globally, Charlie has held sold-out exhibitions in both Melbourne and Sydney, cementing his place as a rising voice in contemporary Australian art. His work is driven by a desire to bring more vibrancy into the world — one painting at a time.
