I enjoyed sketching Indian Maharajas, Nawabs and Thakurs as I found them very grand, very impressively dressed, very colorful and somewhat eccentric. I have done over the years in India many sketches, drawings, watercolors, paintings of rajas, from small miniature portrait to some large paintings. Usually portraits in majesty, with some Indian decorum around them. This is the royal parade of Serfoji II, King of Tanjore, a small state in Southern… India. Serfoji II was a remarkable prince, a polyglottal, scholar, scientist, doctor, librarian, and above all a humanist devoted to his people despite adverse circumstances under the British Raj. The story of his life at the end of the XVIII th century is worth reading. This colorful sketch of the royal parade out of the palace walls is inspired by an Indian miniature.
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.
