The Heart of Glory: Falcon Folio 4
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
This hyper-real miniature painting by Jaggu Prasad features a peregrine falcon that was also the main focus of the first painting in the Falcon Folio series. Jaggu ji is very mindful of the unique patterns and marks each of their birds has. This falcon has the dark blue patches on its cheeks that identify it as the one that featured in 'Sovereignty.' This particular painting focuses on the falcon from a different angle. It looks off into the distance, perched in profile. The features of its eyes and beak tell us it's not looking for prey, but merely taking inventory of the area. The detailing on its blue feathers, the specks of yellow around the beak and of the claws, the green of the surface it is perched on...the various colours bring out a harmonious and calming effect that makes the viewer keep looking at the painting, trying to decipher what thoughts might house those sharp eyes.
This delightful 13X17 artwork, hand-painted with water colours on paper, is perfect for nature lovers and birdwatchers. For connoisseurs and collectors, possessing the entire Falcon series might be the new artistic goal.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- Handcrafted by Jaggu Prasad ji – a master in Miniature art.
- Striking centrepiece – 13x17 ideal for gallery walls or nature-inspired interiors.
- A thoughtful gift or collector’s piece that adds strength, vision, and cultural depth.
