About

My name is Anu Biju.  I am a Computer Science Engineering Student.  Through this website I would like to promote the paintings and designs of my father Biju Mathew who is an artist and designer with over 30 years of experience in the field.  This site also features some works of art by me and my sister Mira Biju.
 
Biju Mathew Started out in traditional media like watercolors, acrylics, oil, pastel, pen and ink, charcoal etc, and gradually gravitated towards digital methods for creating art and designs. Basically self taught, he owes his inspiration to many artists.   He holds Bachelor’s Degrees in Education and Mathematics, and a Master’s in English Literature.
 
On this site you can see his (1) traditional paintings (acrylic, watercolor, oil, graphite, charcoal, and some unconventional media like coffee, tea, wood stain, etc.), (2) digital paintings mostly done in Rebelle from scratch, and (3) digital paintings made with the help of AI image generators corrected and painted over using Rebelle and Krita,  (4) Posters, Graphic Designs and Typography 

To see the book covers, flyers, brochures etc. that he has designed, please visit design.varnachitra.com

"Biju has remarkable skill and draftsmanship in rendering, but that is not all; his paintings convey a calm and pleasant mood. The composition sense and understanding of color harmony are apparent. The paintings are somewhat stylised and dreamy in nature and convey the beauty and love of life."
