Table for Two

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

Table for Two' by Jaggu Prasad distills a fleeting woodland moment into a quiet ballet of light, texture, and instinct. Two squirrels, their sleek forms alive with alert energy, gather amidst a carpet of fallen autumn leaves—nature’s table set for the simplest of feasts. The interplay of russet, ochre, and soft gray gives the painting a rhythmic warmth, while every whisker and curl of tail seems caught between motion and stillness. The faint shimmer of the fur, rendered in translucent layers, shows Prasad’s deft command over watercolor. The forest floor feels sacred here—an intimate theatre where survival and serenity coexist, and where even the smallest creatures embody nature’s endless grace. The title's witiness adds a humourous charm to tie it all together perfectly.

This 9.7 × 13.4 inch watercolour on paper exemplifies Prasad’s ability to elevate the familiar to the poetic, a miniature window into the wild’s gentlest harmonies.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

  • Handcrafted by Jaggu Prasad ji, celebrated for his precise, soulful portrayals of wildlife
  • A tender portrayal of balance and intimacy within nature’s everyday ritual
  • Miniature format enhances the intimacy of the viewing experience

Invite this tranquil woodland encounter into your collection, a moment of quiet observation painted with reverence and mastery.
