This art exhibition in Mumbai highlights nature’s eternal beauty

Inspired by Nature and its alluring beauty, artist Dilip Mali’s solo show at the Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai keeps the audience hooked. Called Whispers of Nature, this collection of around 50 realistic and abstract artworks is homage to the surroundings.

Dilip’s childhood spent amidst the surroundings of Sahyadri hills can be much credited for his genre of art which makes nature is constant muse. According to him, the textures, forms, hues of trees and the barks of wood stands pivotal in inspiring his artistic journey.

One can feel the touch of legends like Van Gogh and J.M.W. Turner through his works which have a blend of emotional depth, personal experiences and global themes. Dilip mentions, “One standout piece is a serene beach riverscape, capturing the gentle interplay of flowing water, golden sands, and sunlight, evoking a sense of tranquility and timeless connection with Nature. I can still feel the sun rays filtering through the thick bushes, the sound of the river water still echoes in my mind, the rugged paths, and the textures on the stones from the constant impact of the water. It’s a beautiful feeling to know that through my work, I can keep alive things that are no longer in existence.”
