Born and raised in Paphos (Cyprus), Charis primarily works with paintings and stencils. His artistic process began as a child during frequent excursions to the horse farms in his local city. Serving as his primary source of inspiration he soon found his main work object to be horses from all over the world. His art is characterized by intense and vibrant movement of horses with his compositions being placed against old sheets of book paper. He has studied Fine Art at the University of Hertfordshire. After graduating he started working and creating in his personal art studio in Paphos. Soon his work and reputation presented him with various opportunities to participate in various exhibitions. He has exhibited his work in a local Art Festival where he sold some of his work and he was invited to participate in an art movement called “make it new”, a project initiated and supported by the organisation of the European Capital of Culture - Paphos 2017. Through his work he has enhanced existing parts of Paphos city by reviving them back to life with his street art. This raised his publicity where soon his work and name were featured on various social media sites and reviewed on various blogs. Vast amount of his street work (stencils) is featured across the island of Cyprus and his painting can be found in residences throughout Cyprus and the UK
