Mukesha Christelle is a self-taught artist based in Belgium.

Christelle has had a passion for drawing since her teenage years. She has always been captivated by the magical ability to breathe life into a portrait with a simple pencil and paper. Over the years, she has specialized in hyperrealism and various pencil drawing techniques. Her mission, in every project, is to bring the emotions and essence of her subjects to life on the paper.

Utilizing her preferred mediums of graphite and charcoal, the artist expresses herself through her original pieces, focusing on human experiences and emotions. Her work delves into internal questioning about self-love, acceptance, and personal growth. Her favorite subjects to portray are women, with a particular focus on black women, highlighting their struggles with a positive and empowering message of healing, acceptance, and the courage to shine.

Through the creative process, drawing has become an escape into her own world, a frozen moment in time for self-expression and therapy, an experience she wishes to share with the world through her body of work.

When she's not drawing, Christelle enjoys staying active, reading books, listening to music and creating inspirational content for her social media community.
