Studio Mukheli, the brainchild of these two visionary brothers, represents a new chapter in their artistic journey. Fhatuwani and Justice Mukheli, known for their genius in art and photography, are now adding film direction to their repertoire, solidifying their position as multi-talented artists. The studio will serve as their creative sanctuary, allowing them to work both independently and collaboratively.

These artworks, ranging from A4 to A3 in size, are a testament to their dedication to their craft. Each piece, priced between R5 000 and R10 000, is a visual journey inspired by their recent adventures.
