His journey, full of praise and hard work, started in 1978, the same year the famous Bollywood movie "Don" came out.

His early paintings, often showing beautiful landscapes and lively scenes of country life, got the attention of important art critics. One critic said his style was "a beautiful mix of colors, a picture story that speaks to your heart." Many people agreed, and this helped him become wellknown in the art world. By 1985, Howlaji was showing his art regularly, taking part in big events like the National Art Exhibition in Mumbai that year. Showing his art at the 1992 Kochi Biennale made him even more famous in India and other countries. Throughout his career, Howlaji has always painted about nature, spirituality, and what it means to be human. He uses strong brushstrokes and bright colors, making art that is both beautiful and makes you think. He's really good at showing the feeling of a moment, a feeling, or a place. His work shows his hard work, his talent, and how well he understands how paint can show emotion. Today, Howlaji's paintings still inspire and amaze people, standing alongside the best Indian art.
