The Night’s Watch
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
The Night’s Watch' captures the mystery of the nocturnal world perfectly, each feather layered in silver to reflect moonlit texture, each shadow hinting at unseen motion. Perched solemnly on a branch, the owl surveys its realm under a quiet, silvered light. Jaggu Prasad’s brushwork achieves near-photographic realism. The play of ochre and deep brown tones creates an atmosphere of silence, of an eternal moment between dusk and dawn. It is a painting that invites contemplation, evoking the wisdom and solitude of a watcher who never sleeps. This painting might find admirers who are also nocturnal, preferring to stay up and quietly watch the world sleep.
This striking 13x17 inch artwork hand-painted with water colours on paper is perfect for admirers of nocturnal beauty, mystics, and those drawn to the quiet strength of nature’s guardians.
