Samatbhai did not inherit the art of painting and had no contact with any of the great painters in the area where he was born. Even so, his desire to learn painting led him to become an accomplished artist. Spontaneous paintings have crossed the borders of the country today.

He has done a noble job of painting a picture of the people living in many diverse areas like Gir forests, Barda Dungar, dry areas of Okha. Samatbhai considers it his art duty to bring the unique folk life of Gujarat to the forefront of the world when it is struggling against the geographical conditions.
