First and foremost, his painting skills are top-notch. His talent is apparent, and it&#8217;s also clear that this is someone who has put in tireless hours to become a master of his craft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there&#8217;s more to Howlett than just technical skills. He has a unique style that sets him apart. His surreal paintings often depict giants in mountainous landscapes or people merged with trees. If these descriptions don&#8217;t make sense to you, they&#8217;re not supposed to. The beauty of surreal art is that it doesn&#8217;t always make sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cw5QjQRO12q\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
