Falcon Folio - Edition 1
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 Prasad’s miniature creations invite the viewer to lean in. His uniquely realistic style, uses techniques like trompe l’oeil 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 Prasad’s art you will find birds and insects are elevated from background motifs to central subjects—they 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 nature’s 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
In 'Falcon Folio - Edition 3', Jaggu Prasad refines his ongoing exploration of symmetry, strength, and knowledge. Two peregrine falcons, rendered with immaculate precision, face one another across the open pages of a golden folio. Their steady gazes seem to mirror not rivalry, but recognition—an acknowledgment between equals. The page becomes more than a backdrop; it’s a stage of intellect and instinct, a meeting place between art and the natural order. The falcons themselves are marvels of detail. From the patterned contour of their chests to the gleam of their talons, Prasad’s brush transforms observation into reverence. The restrained palette of slate-grey, ivory, and ochre creates a sense of clarity and poise, the kind of compositional balance that only comes from years of discipline. Edition 3 feels like the culmination of the artist’s meditative study of form and reflection, where knowledge takes flight through the very creatures that embody vision and focus.
This commanding 20x15 inch watercolour on paper is ideal for collectors who admire avian artistry, connoisseurs of natural history illustration, and those drawn to artworks that blend intellectual symbolism with aesthetic precision.
