About this artwork
This is a portrait of a Vaishnavite Sanyasin, an ascetic Indian who has renounced worldly life in pursuit of Atman, the eternal Soul, by following Vishnou. I met this amazing looking swami at the summer festival of Jagannath in july 2012 at Puri (Orissa). During the Ratha Yatra ( Chariot Festival), lord Jagannath- an avatar of Vishnu - goes on holiday to visit his aunt godess Gudincha who sits in her temple 3 kms away. Three gods - Jagannath, his…
brother Balabhadra and his sister Subhadra - go on three massive, wooden chariots on a grand avenue to Gundicha temple, where they stay for a week before returning to Jagannath temple. The giant chariots are pulled by thousands of devotees and followed by a massive crowd estimated at more than a million. In and around the site, one can spot so many amazing characters like this one, who had an incredibly fierce look.
Portrait done on paper with pencil and charcoal, after a photography taken near Jagannath temple. .

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.
