Poems in the Sky: Fireflies 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
"In 'Poems in the Sky', from Jaggu Prasad’s Fireflies Series, the artist turns his delicate brushwork toward the lyricism of light. A constellation of dragonflies, in hues of lilac, sapphire, emerald, and gold, fills the frame, each rendered with veins so fine they seem to hum with their own quiet radiance. The careful variation in size and colour creates a natural cadence, like stanzas suspended in air. Where earlier works in the series explored form and texture, this one leans toward composition, a visual poem written through repetition, symmetry, and soft gradations of tone. Every dragonfly carries its own rhythm, yet together they evoke a shared sense of grace and design.
This luminous 18x24 inch artwork hand-painted with water colours on paper is perfect for collectors who admire intricate craftsmanship, those inspired by natural geometry, and lovers of art that finds poetry in the small and precise.
