Creatures of Myth' by Jaggu Prasad transforms humble beetles into a subject of wonder and reverence. The artwork gathers a vibrant congregation of beetles, some gleaming like carved gemstones, others cloaked in patterns that seem drawn from ancient tapestries. At the centre sits a magnificent scarab-like figure, its armour striped in gold and green, evoking the sacred beetles of Egyptian lore. Around it, species of every shade and colour—sapphire, amber, coral, and violet—orbit like celestial beings, each crafted with such care that they appear almost divine in design. Prasad’s composition blurs the line between science and storytelling. These are not mere insects, but symbols of persistence, transformation, and mystery—the “mythic creatures” that live quietly beneath our feet. His delicate watercolour layering gives each shell a sense of depth and iridescence, while the clean ivory background lends them the status of icons. Creatures of Myth becomes, in essence, a naturalist’s altar where observation turns into awe. And indeed many creatures of nature exist in reality and yet their form makes us amazed, they seem like something out of science fiction. And yet they exist, these creatures of apparent myth, in all their real splendour and magnificence.
This 13x17 inch watercolour on paper is ideal for collectors of fine naturalist art, those drawn to intricate detailing, and anyone who sees mythology in the rhythms of nature.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- Hand-painted by Jaggu Prasad ji, master of Miniature natural art
- A celebration of nature’s design, where art meets entomological beauty
- Perfect statement piece for refined interiors or a thoughtful collector’s acquisition
Invite Creatures of Myth into your space — a tribute to the extraordinary hidden within the ordinary.
