Note: Kulkarni trained at the Sir J.J. School of Art, Bombay. From there he had a busy career, working, exhibiting and teaching. He was a visiting Professor at the Delhi Polytechnic Art Department from 1945 to 1962, and during that time, also founded the Triveni Kala Sangam, where he ultimately served as Director of the Art Department until 1968.
In the late 1950s he travelled extensively through Mexico, Guatemala, Peru and Brazil. The contact he had there with Mayan and Inca civilizations became an important influence on his later work. He exhibited work internationally in locations as diverse as London, Paris, Venice, New York, Tokyo and Sao Paulo, as well as representing India at the International Art Programme in the U.S.A. on three separate occasions.
