  "account": "Jayshree Savani's latest exhibition at FPH Gallery in Nariman Point, Mumbai, from September 19 to September 30, 2026, is titled Biophilia. This exhibition explores the intuitive relationship between colour, nature, and emotion, with colour taking the lead.\n\nSavani believes that the human instinct to connect with nature and the living world extends beyond landscapes to include cosmology, shaping the universe with larger forces. Her inspiration for the paintings comes from her love for nature, fascination with cosmology, and belief in the all-pervading force that is the universe.\n\nThe process of creating her abstract paintings is deeply organic and intuitive, guided by feeling rather than rigid structure. She works with acrylics, brushes, her hands, and palette knives to build texture, allowing the paint to determine the direction of the work. The drips and layering become an important part of the process, with Savani allowing those moments to become part of the final composition.\n\nThe works in Biophilia often move between vibrant oranges, pinks, greens, blues, and softer muted fields. Scraped surfaces and darker lines add another layer to the compositions, creating abstract landscapes that feel natural, cosmic, and deeply personal. Savani avoids naming individual paintings, allowing viewers to find their own interpretation and connection to the artwork.\n\nThis exhibition holds a deeply personal significance for Savani, who dedicates it to her father, Mahendrabhai Shah. Savani's relationship with the ideas behind the work was greatly influenced by her father, and she feels his presence alongside her belief in nature and the universe.",
