Bonsai I

In 'Bonsai I', Jaggu Prasad transforms a miniature tree into a monument of endurance. The trunk twists upward in quiet defiance, gnarled with the marks of time, while its crown unfurls in tender symmetry. Against the plain ground, the bonsai’s form feels sculptural, like a living poem of proportion and perseverance. Each needle, each subtle gradation of shadow, reveals the artist’s understanding of nature not as subject, but as collaborator.

What emerges is less a study of a plant and more a portrait of patience, of the way growth bends to form, and form, in turn, liberates beauty. Prasad’s restrained palette and attention to texture evoke both serenity and strength, inviting contemplation of the subtle dialogues between nurture and control, fragility and persistence.

This 12 x 16 inch watercolour on paper is a study in grace and endurance, ideal for collectors who appreciate botanical art elevated to spiritual reflection.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

• Handcrafted by Jaggu Prasad ji, renowned for lifelike precision and poetic composition
• A refined botanical study that embodies harmony between nature and human touch
• Ideal for collectors who appreciate contemplative realism and nuanced craftsmanship
