Tropical Pair 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 vibrant study, Jaggu Prasad paints a pair of tropical birds perched quietly within dense green foliage. Their plumage carries a mix of iridescent blues, greens, yellows, and warm russet tones, each feather shaped with deliberate miniature brushwork. The leaves around them show sharp venation and smooth gradients, giving the scene structure without forcing movement. The contrast between the jewel toned bird and the warmer companion creates a steady visual balance, turning the composition into a calm meeting point of colour and form.
This 13 x 17 inch watercolour on paper suits collectors who enjoy expressive avian subjects, interiors that thrive on controlled bursts of colour, and those who value miniature detailing performed with patient precision. The artwork stays grounded in observation while bringing in just enough warmth and vitality to feel lived in and quietly radiant.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- Handcrafted by Jaggu Prasad ji, a leading contemporary miniature painter
- A 13 x 17 inch centrepiece suited for refined interiors and curated wall grouping
- A collector’s piece shaped by sharp detailing, colour harmony, and natural composure
Bring home this tropical pair and let its quiet vibrance settle naturally into your space.
