Pure Love and Comfort
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
Pure Love and Comfort' by, Jaggu Prasad captures the universal language of tenderness. On one page, an orangutan mother cradles her young with protective warmth; on the other, a pair of pandas rest together, surrounded by soft blades of grass. The open folio becomes a quiet testament to affection shared across species. Prasad’s treatment of texture and gaze reveals extraordinary sensitivity from the downy fur, the gentle clasp of fingers to the mirrored calm in the pandas’ eyes, each is rendered with a devotion that transcends anatomy. In portraying creatures often separated by geography and nature, the artist unites them through a single thread of emotion. It is a study not just of animals, but of kinship itself. Of loving and being loved, since that is hardly excusive to the human or any other species. The interesting thing, is how on the one hand, it is clear that the relationship of a mother with her child is portrayed as pure and comforting, while at the same time, the two Pandas with unclear relational dynamics, portray the fact that love is pure in itself and not necessarily based on the specificity of the relation.
This tender 17 x 13 inch watercolour on paper is perfect for admirers of wildlife art, those drawn to emotive realism, and collectors who seek works that celebrate empathy and quiet connection.
