Charalambos Christodoulou was born in the occupied Akhna, Famagusta district, Cyprus, in 1937. After graduating the English High School in Famagusta, he attended the Teachers’ Training College in Cyprus and later obtained a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Mathematics, History and Constitution at the University of London. He served in the public elementary and secondary schools in Cyprus and was promoted to the position of Lyceum Headmaster. Charalambos retired in 1997.

Throughout his long career as a Math teacher, although he was dedicated to his profession, his interests were also focused on Archaeology, History and Arts. It was during his peregrinations, touring the archaeological sites across the island that his eye was caught by the great variety of shapes and shades of stones. He started carving as a hobby in 1981, fascinated and intrigued by his ability to release the unforeseen forms that lay dormant in stone. In time, sculpting captured all his interests and turned out to be a passionate way of expressing himself.

He experienced with a variety of materials: marble, limestone, sandstone, granite, jasper, wood, terracotta in his quest for new challenges. Quite often, the actual shape of the material is it a river stone or a piece from a cypress tree trunk, leads the artist to the representation as if it dictates to him how to reveal the shape hidden inside. The human figure dominates his world, the female acquiring a leading role. It is motherhood that appeals to him most: sometimes female figures imbued with a powerful sensual quality, other times sturdy forms that evoke the force of the earth.

Charalambos Christodoulou had a one man exhibition in 1990 at the Melina Mercouri Municipality Hall in Nicosia and a joint exhibition with the painter Aurelia Stoie at the University of Cyprus, New Campus, Anastasios Leventis Hall, in April 2007. He also participated in two group exhibitions, one organised by the EKATE in 1992 and one at the Gloria Gallery in December 2009.
