Bonny Mathew

Born in the southern state of Kerala, India, Bonny Mathew has been drawing and painting since childhood. Over the years, he became a self-taught artist in watercolour and oil paintings. His inspiration is various, be it a cast shadow on a sunny morning, ocean waves, clouds, people or still life. During his student days and in the workplace, he has found opportunities to make figurative sketches and caricature. Works of world masters in oil and watercolour have had a great influence on his philosophy of perceiving subjects and transferring them to paper and canvas. He loves to travel and explore new locations and subjects and it has become his passion to capture the mood of a scene in light and shade with subtle colour schemes. He loves to work en plein air whenever the weather permits. Bonny is a member of Tashkeel.
