Publishing of Illustrated Books!

In the realm of artistic expression, the creation of art or illustrated books may stand as a profound endeavour that parallels the creative process of artists themselves. Much like a painter meticulously crafting strokes upon a canvas or a sculptor shaping raw materials into evocative forms, the process of publishing illustrated books embodies a unique journey of creativity, craftsmanship, and storytelling.

At its core, the creation of art is an intimate dialogue between the artist and their chosen medium, a process that transcends mere technique to encapsulate emotions, ideas, and narratives. Similarly, the conception of an illustrated book involves a meticulous fusion of visual elements, textual content, and design aesthetics, each component contributing to the book’s identity and resonance. Moreover, both artists and publishers grapple with the imperative of presentation, recognizing the transformative power of context in shaping audience perception.

At Niyogi Books, the team shares a common ethos of collaboration, drawing upon the collective expertise and creative synergy of diverse individuals including the artists, writers, graphic designers, photographers, editors, illustrators as well as the printers, each contributor lending their unique perspective and skillset to the realisation of the final book.

Production of such works take immense time, effort as well as capital. Hence, we at Niyogi Books prioritize quality over quantity. There are several projects which have taken a few years to see its fruition. Our four volume Mahabharata by Prof Alok Bhalla and Prof Chandra Prakash Deval took almost eight years since the idea germinated.

We simply hope that our books are read and appreciated by its discerning readers. Rephrasing Abbas Kiarostami’s famous observation, we can say that an illustrated book doesn’t exist outside the perception of its readers.
