about
Nadège Esalo is a Belgian artist and fashion illustrator. Mainly self-taught, she has been passionate about drawing from an early age. Her work often highlights feminine silhouettes, reimagined with a minimalist and spontaneous style, through the fluid use of watercolor and ink on paper.
Alongside her fashion illustrations, Nadège created a miniature alter ego — a tiny poetic character who explores the world in playful and unexpected ways. From perching on a high heel to diving into a coffee cup, this little figure adds humor, intimacy, and a touch of magic to her artistic universe.
Inspired by fashion houses such as Prada, Valentino, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel, as well as the timeless allure of fashion magazines, Nadège brings together luxury, minimalism, and storytelling. Her art invites us to see both fashion and everyday life through fresh eyes — sometimes chic, sometimes whimsical, always deeply human.
