His work was first showcased in Dhaka in 1976, and a significant retrospective organized by the Goethe Institute, Dhaka in 1987 solidified his status as a major artist. Despite coming from an underprivileged background, SM Sultan made hts mark in the art world through sheer passion and his ability to build enduring connections. Although his family could not afford his education at the Calcutta School of Arts, he received a special recommendation that allowed him to study there for three years. His very simple but highly philosophic art, which features nature and the people of Bangladesh, - has become the prime source of inspiration for the new generation of painters. Sultan's characters were farmers, rural women, children, animals, and even pets. The main feature of his paintings is the muscular farmers, with extensive muscles and godly physical stature which make his farmers . larger than life. Sultan took little care of his finished works, and many are lost. He was unconcerned about using materials that would preserve. Sultan's song was never about a legacy of artwork but of ideas.
