Avian Chronicle - Folio 2
Jaggu Prasad
Born in 1963, Jaggu Prasad is an Indian miniature painter renowned for his extraordinary precision and devotion to the art. Having started his artistic journey at the young age of 6, Jaggu Prasad, eventually learnt under the guidance of Padma Shree Kirpal Singh himself. As an artist Jaggu Prasadâs miniature creations invite the viewer to lean in. His uniquely realistic style, uses techniques like trompe lâoeil to give a hyper-real effect to his muse, nature. The microscopic brush strokes and intricate textures reward close inspection. Greatly insured by nature, in Prasadâs art you will find birds and insects are elevated from background motifs to central subjectsâthey occupy space with monumentality despite their size, their features rendered with a clarity that bridges observation and wonder. The result is miniature art that invites reflection, discovery, and appreciation of natureâs hidden architecture. As an independent artist, with decades of experience, his miniature paintings have reached both national and foreign exhibitions and galleries. Singapore, UK, Germany, France and the United States are just some of the places his works have featured in. For the minutest of details that give his work depth, he uses a single hair of an otter. His dedication to the craft and deep observation give a meaningful depth to all his artworks. If you want to have a painting where you can find depth in each stroke, artworks by Jaggu Prasad are exactly what you need.
Description
Avian Chronicle - Folio 2' by Jaggu Prasad presents a luminous anthology of hummingbirds and tropical songsters that feels both archival and alive. The open folioâaged and ochre-tonedâframes an inner world of vivid life with tiny, iridescent birds hovering among orchids and blossoms, each feather rendered with exquisite translucence. The interplay between the painted âpages within pagesâ creates a layered illusionânature observed, remembered, and reimagined all at once. Prasadâs attention to detail gives each bird a sense of individuality, from the slender beak of a hovering hummingbird to the elegant sweep of a tail feather. The surrounding margins, too, are alive with motion and balance, suggesting that even the boundaries of the page canât contain the vitality of flight. In this work, art becomes a form of reverence, a recording of what is fleeting, preserved forever in pigment and paper.
This enchanting 22.8 x 17.9 inch watercolour on paper is perfect for collectors who value fine craftsmanship, naturalists at heart, and those who find solace in the union of beauty and order.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- Handcrafted by Jaggu Prasad ji, a master of contemporary miniature art
- A multi-layered composition that blends natural history with poetic imagination
- Ideal centerpiece for collectors of avian or botanical art, and lovers of timeless detail
Let Avian Chronicle â Folio 2 grace your collectionâa living folio of colour, memory, and exquisite design.
