Painting came as a hobby came to Babaji at an early age, and, without any formal training. To begin with, he funded his high school education with signboard painting in his town. This also helped him earn a name for himself. After earning a bachelor’s degree in commerce, he changed his line of education and went on to graduate as a gold medallist from Vikram University of Ujjain, in India, and got a Master’s degree with in drawing and painting. Throughout his career, Babaji has looked upon money, not as a motive of his expression but merely as a way to compensate and finance his pursuit of his creative expression of his inner personality. At a very early stage in his art career, he joined the Ram Janmabhoomi movement, and the Cow Protection movement. Later, he was also part of the Swadeshi movement. Soon, he became a part of every nationalistic movement by default for he very effectively was able to capture and promote the movement’s message Babaji also has come to be known as an artist of ‘strokes’. The strokes of his sketches seem to be packed with a lot of power and panache. And, the speed with which he is able to capture an idea and express it meaningfully as a painting is truly fascinating. He is especially dedicated to the painting of Gods and Goddesses. In the short span of his life, Babaji has an impressive collection of art work. His paintings include a wide range of subjects from Kargil to Badrinath, and from the southern temples in Kerala to the western parts in Kathiawad. His depictions include the idyllic village life as well as the frenetic routines of the city life. From rails to fairs and from prisons to temples he has painted it all. In the recent years, Babaji has made forays into the Western world, with exhibitions and private commissions in the U.S. and in the Carribean countries. Yet, Babaji takes great pride in being known as a ‘painter of the masses’. Whatever his work of art, his aim to depict an effective and powerful message that can reach out to the common man.
