Charlie Mostow is a classically trained figurative sculptor. He earned his Bachelor of Arts magna cum laude in Comparative Literature from the University of San Francisco. Upon graduation he turned to the visual arts, studying drawing in Seattle under graduates of the Aristides Classical Atelier before moving to New York City to study drawing and sculpture at the Grand Central Atelier. He completed the Atelier's rigorous four-year Core Program in 2016. During his studies Charlie received scholarships from the Grand Central Atelier and the Art Renewal Center and was twice named a Hudson River Fellow. ​

After graduation Charlie became the Sculptor in Residence at the Grand Central Atelier, where he taught figure sculpture, portrait sculpture, and écorché anatomy - the study of the body's musculature and skeletal structure beneath the skin. He has taught workshops at the Grand Central Atelier, Gage Academy in Seattle, and Classical Realism Workshops in Richmond, as well as privately in his own studio. ​

His work has been exhibited at Robert Simon Fine Art in New York, Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina, and the Society of Portrait Sculptors' FACE exhibition at La Galleria Pall Mall in London. He has twice won the Walter and Michael Lantz Prize from the National Sculpture Society, received an Honorable Mention in sculpture from the Art Renewal Center Salon, received the Al Baker Award from the Salmagundi Club, and was selected as a Fellow of the Clark Hulings Fund Business Accelerator Program. He is a member of the National Sculpture Society, the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art, the Salmagundi Club, and the Grand Central Atelier. ​

His work has been covered by The New York Times, The Epoch Times, and The Classicist. Charlie has worked with Sabin Howard on A Soldier's Journey, the United States National World War I Memorial in Washington, D.C. Howard has said of Charlie: "He has exceptional ability in concept of design and expression of human feeling in his sculpture to take on public projects of figurative art to produce stunning results." Jacob Collins, founder of the Grand Central Atelier, has written: "I know him to be a man of sterling character, responsible, generous and a pleasure to know and work with. He is also a disciplined student of his craft, a rigorous practitioner, a highly skilled figurative sculptor and an imaginative and talented artist." ​
