Kulkarni was born in 1921 and passed in 1992. He was a cartoonist, painter and sculptor.

Kulkarni investigated in illustration as a cartoonist worked with newspapers and journals. He was member of Bombay Group and involved himself in discussion and exhibited along artists in town. His distorted forms with flashes of transparent colours are prominent in Holi. He experimented in compositions and colours, linear lines boldly emerged from the patches of green and reds.

Folk animated forms of animal, birds and ornate patterns can decipher a meaning as running narrative through the figures. Signed at the lower right 'Dizi' by the artist.
