I'm Nadège Esalo, a self-taught artist and fashion illustrator based in Belgium. Drawing has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and over time, it evolved into a deep passion.

Today, my work is a celebration of the female silhouette, captured through the fluid elegance of watercolor. Each figure I paint is part muse, part memory — delicate yet bold, spontaneous yet intentional.

Fashion is my endless source of inspiration. I’m drawn to the timeless grace of Chanel, the daring of Prada, the artistry of Valentino, and the modern luxury of Louis Vuitton. I find stories in the folds of couture and rhythm in the pages of fashion magazines.

My style is minimalist, intuitive, and emotional — led more by instinct than by rules. I paint not just what I see, but what I feel.
