Charles Alexandre BOURDETTE was born under the sign of the Virgo in the afternoon of a September 1998 day in the Gabonese capital.

He was born to a French-Gabonese father and a Gabonese mother who raised him in the country, where he spent most of his childhood. When he was fifteen, he left his homeland and settled in Chamalières, a charming town in the French department of Puy-de-Dôme. While Charles had been drawing and sketching for years, it was only by the year 2017, during an art lecture, that he took the decision to become a professional artist. After having studied foreign languages for two years, he decided to permanently devote his life to artistic expression, starting with paintings.

Charles vigorously draws et paints allegorical scenes of human beings, animals but also monsters. His style is characterized by a remarkable blend of the Gabonese people’s ancestral esotericism, and a range of surprisingly similar foreign cultural elements.
