Lynda Charles

My work explores the beauty and complexity of the human body, probing layers of self-perception and connection. My aim is to spark dialogue about identity and the relationships that bind us.

As a Nigerian woman, I draw from my cultural roots and the shared experiences of women, using acrylic and charcoal to tell stories of solitude, joy, longing, and resilience. The female form is central to my art, portrayed with intentional detail to evoke reflection and emotion.

For me, art is both personal exploration and a platform to amplify women’s voices, ensuring their stories are seen, heard, and valued.
