About this artwork
Nagaur is a small town in western Rajasthan, halfway between Jodhpur and Bikaner, known for its spices and sweets. I stayed near the palace fort and spent time wandering through the bazaar, visiting the dargah and observing daily life. This painting shows a typical mom-and-pop shop, one of many along a bazaar high street. The apparent chaos of the stall reflects what is sold: a random stock of everyday goods for local households, from flour, spices,… vegetables and sweets to building materials, tobacco, cheap toys and other necessities. A young man, moody, stands at the back of the stall waiting for customers, while another figure on the left, still, might be a client. I tried to capture the quiet atmosphere of this Rajasthani shop, where the two male figures seem lost in their own thoughts, almost as in a Hopper work. I refreshed this painting in 2025; it was originally made in 2020.

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.
