About Charlie Lim
FMPA (UK), FCTPC, FWPPM, Hon SCPC, SOE Nominee 2009
Charlie is a man of varied talents and foresight. He is professionally trained in Advertising and Commercial Photography. Discipline and perseverance are the pillars of Charlie’s success. Talent and his passion for art are the brick and mortar that build his vision to blur the lines between photography and fine art.
Through years of research, Charlie has developed a new art form that he calls “Oil-Painting” Photography. Charlie’s images dwell on the boundaries of fine art and photography.
In his portraitures, Charlie employs a Baroque approach of dramatic play of light and shadow where he ‘paints’ his figures in the dark with a light source. The results resemble Rembrandt’s paintings. On closer look, the term “Light” is double entendre; Charlie captures movements akin to Degas’. His moving figures embodied a sense of lightness with a hint of surrealistic whimsy. His subjects glide effortlessly along the frames, exuding mystery and beauty.
“Oil-Painting” Photography has propelled Charlie to international fame. He is much sought after and frequently featured in various media.
Since year 2008, Charlie had media coverage in at least 7 countries namely, Australia, London, Philippines, India, Vietnam and Singapore. His works were also featured in Vietnam TV in May 2014 and invited to have another live telecast in early 2015.
His latest achievement has to be the selection by the World Wide Art Books, publisher of the International Masters of Photography Volume II, a juried annual, invite-only art photography publication presenting noteworthy photographers from all over the world. Each volume of this series presents the work of 100 noteworthy photographers from the world, displaying a cross section of what is happening in photography
in all its genres, worldwide.
