About this artwork
I went several times to Goa, last time in March 2020, just before the first Covid lockdown. I visited old Goan houses, in the city of Chandor, not far from Panjim. These grand and derelict mansions look like old Portuguese Palaces fallen asleep since the 17 th century. You can walk through ball rooms, drawing rooms, master bedroom covered with four poster beds, palanquins, confident sofas, golden mirrors ... Everything - furniture, objects, pictures…
- has been frozen in place for about 300 years. There are many windows opening to a tropical garden or the Indian Ocean. Back in France, I painted several 'room with a view' as a metaphor for being locked down and dreaming of a beautiful 'outside': the sea, a tropical jungle, going back in time.The theme of 'room with a view' has been often used by Matisse in the French Riviera. These are for me a sort of 'Indian Riviera' dream. This acrylic painting is medium large (60x80), was done in 2021 but slightly refreshed afterwards.

Michel Testard
wandering painter of faraway worlds
Born in Tokyo and raised in Japan and Vietnam, I later lived in Africa, the UK and for twenty years in India. These places were not stops on a journey but temporary homelands, each leaving their own colour and rhythm within me. I paint what has marked me: a bend of the Ganges at dawn, the mineral light of Ladakh, Icelandic wilderness, the twilight of Rajasthani bazaars, the meditative atmosphere of Indian classical music. At times the real shifts into the imaginary — Goan rooms opening onto the sea, murmuring jungles, humorous portraits of musicians, rajas and yogis. My style is spontaneous and expressionist, guided by intuition and shaped by colour, emotion and memory. I paint to honour the faraway worlds that continue to inhabit me.
