About charlesnivens:

I am an American Artist with over 40 years of professional experience. I have devoted much of life life to finding and developing my unique style and technique. My work has been featured and exhibited in cities across the U.S. as well as abroad.

Using pallet knife and brush, I work to transform canvas, vibrant colors, and textures into contemporary works. Each painting is unique and original and showcases the fascination, mystery and beauty of the world around us.

”Painting is truly something that is a part of my soul, my way of interpreting the world. I don't believe that I am just a painter; I'm a creator and an interpreter of light, form, movement and lots of color.

My vehicle for this form of expression is the palette knife. This instrument allows me to add dimension and life to a flat surface. But the power of expression that I feel and communicate on canvas is through the action of putting down large amounts of paint that I can mold and sculpt into a landscape or an urban scene.”
