Streets and Alleys
Prashant Kulkarni (b. 1987) received his Graduate Diploma in Fine Art from Kalawishwa Mahavidhyalaya Shantiniketan, Sangli. The artist specializes in acrylic and oil creative landscapes and compositions. This series of paintings is inspired by the famous Crawford Market of Mumbai and other street bazaars including scenes from Sangli where he studied.
