Sri Lankan/American Photographer, Charles Indika Perera has been an avid photographer for more than eight years. Charles has been fascinated by the simple things in life and uses characters of nature as his subjects. Simplicity is the more surreal Abstract of an art form. Photography captures and capsulate the perfect moment in time, as a metaphor to time as it stands still. Charles had his first solo photography exhibit in 2007. Charles depicts simplicity of nature as it stand still in time, as time eludes you cannot rewind it. That moment is gone forever. With the invention of photography we can enjoy these moments. Charles’s artistic talents extend to painting, poetry, songwriting, movie screenwriting and acting.
