About this artwork
This a traditional scene of rural India, probably in Southern India. Young ladies are preparing the offering for a puja ( prayer) on the left hand side , while other ladies are picking and collecting mangoes from a tree on the right. I have been inspired to draw this composition from some miniature paintings.
The scene is peaceful, colorful decorative.

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.
