About me

Hi, I am Chitra Raju.

Discovered anything called art in me for the first time was when I was six when I scribbled a portrait of my father on a piece of paper which with great pride he used to carry around in his wallet. After schooling, just couldn’t keep up with my parent’s dreams of becoming a doctor. Ended up graduating in English Hons. As the saying goes ‘Men will do rational thing only after exploring all other alternatives’ goes absolutely right for me. As the last resort I took to my natural talent which was – ART.

So moved onto book illustrations, graphics then to print designing and web designing. My stint in renowned publishing houses in India lasted for around ten years before I moved to Heinsberg, NRW, Germany to take up a new role of being a wife and a mother. I am now a proud mother of a teenage daughter and a son.

After long 15yrs, I have taken to my first love again – painting. It took an unfortunate corona lock-down in 2020 and lots of time in hand to finally revive it. I believe no age is too old to pursue your passion, am just glad i finally did start and dedicate as much time in creating, experimenting with various styles, mediums and techniques.
