An art exhibition showcasing artworks inspired by nature’s eternal beauty will deck the halls of Jehangir Art Gallery from December 30, 2024 to January 5, 2025. This art collection by Dilip Mali, titled ‘Whispers of Nature’, features a mix of realistic and abstract artworks that pay homage to the world around us.

Born in the serene village of Ond in the Satara district of Maharashtra, Mali’s artistic sensibilities were nurtured amidst the greenery of the Sahyadri hills. From his early days as a student to his professional training, nature has been an omnipresent muse, inspiring his work. He credits the textures, forms and hues of trees, particularly the bark of wood, as pivotal elements shaping his artistic journey, describing them as “nature’s language, speaking directly to the soul.”
