Rock Samphire Composition
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 this refined study of Crithmum maritimum, Jaggu Prasad brings together scientific clarity and quiet artistic control. The fleshy, divided leaves appear in gentle gradients of green, each section shaped with careful tonal layering that suggests both texture and freshness. Small clusters of yellow green blossoms emerge at the stem tips, offering contrast without unsettling the composition. The plant’s compact structure is drawn with a confident hand, revealing Prasad’s ability to balance accuracy with visual calm.
This 8 x 12 inch watercolour on paper is well suited for collectors of rare botanical species, admirers of coastal flora, and interiors that appreciate detailed natural illustration. The painting stays serene and exact, relying on steady observation rather than flourish, making it an elegant and grounded addition to any collection.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- Handcrafted by Jaggu Prasad ji, a master of miniature art
- Intimate 8 x 12 inch scale, ideal for study walls, cabinet frames, or curated botanical cluster
- A thoughtful collector’s piece that brings rhythm, quiet detail, and natural depth
