Rajan P. Parrikar with niece Saraswati (2024)
Short version: Made in Goa 🇮🇳, Miseducated in USA 🇺🇸, Modified in Iceland 🇮🇸.
Not-so-short version: Born in Goa; Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder.
My journey in photography began with Goa’s landscapes, heritage, and people. For nearly two decades, the numinous landscape of Iceland has drawn me into an ongoing photographic exploration. Click here for my photography website.
I’m a musician with a lifelong immersion in the manifold musical traditions of India. My monographs on the ragas of Indian Classical Music are archived here.
After 30 years in the USA, including 25 in Silicon Valley, California, I now call Iceland home.
Note:
The photographs here remain true to traditional principles – they are not composites, AI-generated fantasies, or digital art. My artistic impulse aligns with the sentiment expressed by the mathematician Hermann Weyl:
“My work always tried to unite the true with the beautiful; but when I had to choose one or the other, I usually chose the beautiful.”
