Painting is not about what you see — it is about making others feel what you felt.

The Artist

Forty years of
colour and quiet.

Born in Pune, Prashant Kulkarni began painting as a teenager — what started as quiet rebellion in the margins of schoolbooks became a lifelong devotion to landscape, memory, and the way afternoon light dissolves into shadow.

Over four decades he has built a deeply personal visual language — layered oils and soft acrylics that breathe between abstraction and figuration, never fully choosing one world over the other.

In His Words

I am not trying to capture reality — I am trying to find what reality feels like from the inside.

Medium & Method

Primarily oil on linen and canvas, with occasional ventures into watercolour and mixed media. His process is slow and contemplative — paintings rest for weeks between sessions, absorbing the passing light of his Pune studio window.
