Market Woman & Cat

Chaaya Prabhat is an illustrator and lettering artist from Chennai, now based in Goa. Her work is instantly recognizable for its vibrant color palettes and whimsical themes that often feel fantastical, yet every piece is rooted in the ordinary magic of daily life. From vast empty fields to bustling marketplaces, kite-filled skies to the familiar presence of cats, her art captures moments that are both personal and universal. Whether you’re a child or a grown-up, Chaaya’s illustrations carry a playful warmth that resonates with everyone and turns the everyday into something extraordinary.

One of the core reasons Jigsaw Nation was born was to bring Indian stories into the puzzling world. While puzzles across the globe often highlight landmarks and cultures of different countries, we noticed India was missing from the picture. The Artist Series is our way of changing that. We collaborate with talented Indian artists; from legendary caricaturists like Mario Miranda to contemporary illustrators like Chaaya Prabhat, and transform their stunning creations into puzzles worth treasuring. Every puzzle is a slice of India’s artistic spirit, waiting to be solved, displayed, and admired.
