Falcon Folio - Edition 3
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 'Falcon Folio - Edition 1', Jaggu Prasad presents a composition that feels both regal and archival, with two peregrine falcons poised like portraits within the open pages of an ancient manuscript. Their stances mirror each other, yet each bird carries its own temperament—one alert and commanding, the other more reserved and introspective. The fine stippling on their plumage, the gleam of the beaks, and the luminous yellow of their talons reveal the artist’s mastery of miniature precision and tonal control. By placing the birds within the confines of a painted folio, Prasad bridges natural history and storytelling. It’s as if these falcons have been recorded for posterity—not just as species, but as enduring symbols of strength, vigilance, and grace. The artwork celebrates observation as devotion, each feather rendered with reverence for both anatomy and myth.
This distinguished 20x15 inch watercolour on paper is ideal for collectors drawn to wildlife portraiture, those who admire symbolic storytelling, and connoisseurs of detailed, archival-style natural art.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- Hand-painted by Jaggu Prasad ji, a celebrated master of Miniature art
- A unique narrative composition blending realism with the formality of illustrated manuscript
- Perfect statement piece for study walls, collectors’ libraries, or refined interior
Let Falcon Folio - Edition 1 grace your collection as a quiet testament to the union of power, artistry, and preservation.
