Sarika Dandona, is an Abstract & Fine Art Photographer, and winner of several awards at the prestigious Prix De La Photographie (PX3), Paris and the International Loupe Awards, Australia (earlier the International Aperture Awards).

She has been earlier showcased by Smart Photography and Better Photography, the two leading photography and imaging magazines in India. Sarika’s work has also been commissioned by Penguin Books India for the cover of the book titled, “What Really Happened”, by author, Banaphool (Arunava Sinha Tr). Her signature style is to delve deep into her subjects and draw out surreal yet intricate abstractions from a fusion of colours, shapes, contours, textures, materials and nature. With an interplay of light and shadows there is underlying movement and flow in her work that channelizes bursts of energy towards a sense of peace and tranquility. Her primary body of work transforms mundane objects with a strong element of intrigue to challenge first impressions. An alumnus from All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, Sarika’s background in Microbiology and Biotechnology research followed by her work as a journalist and then as an entrepreneur and consultant in Healthcare and Life Sciences for over 25 years, has strongly influenced her love for macro photography with an inherent ability to visualize objects internally, up-close with an eye for detail and multi-layers.
