About this artwork
In the deep Indian jungle imagined by Kipling and Loti, we bump into a fantasy scene. A black panther named Bagheera jumps in a turbulent stream, looking at a nymph perched in the middle of a blue banyan tree. On her side another nymph pats her horse, and in the upper part of the scene, we can see another nymph in conversation with a guru. The whole atmosphere is sheer fantasy in shining colors, inspired by some of my travels in the real Indian jungle.… This painting, part of a series, can also be seen as influenced by some of my favorite masters, here Gauguin and le Douanier Rousseau.

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.
