Capturing Soul in
Shadows & Light
Hand-drawn, hyper-realistic charcoal portraits. I create custom, heirloom-quality pieces, capturing emotion and detail in the timeless medium of charcoal.
The Artist Behind the Art
Hello, I’m Neha, a professional charcoal artist and educator. For me, charcoal isn’t just a medium — it’s a way to preserve emotions, memories, and stories that last a lifetime. Every portrait I create is more than a likeness; it’s a moment frozen in time, full of emotion and depth. My journey began with simple sketches and evolved into a passion for hyper-realistic charcoal portraits. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of working with clients across India and training 500+ students, helping them gain confidence and mastery in realistic drawing techniques.
Every smudge and stroke is intentional. I strive to capture not just the likeness of the subject, but the story behind their eyes. Whether it's a beloved pet, a wedding moment, or a memorial portrait, I treat every artwork with the respect it deserves.
