About this artwork
I have always liked gurus and swamis and yogis.
I used to sketch them a lot as a student, even though I had not been to India at the time. And being French, I cannot escape from the idea of philosophy and philosophers who are very much esteemed, almost revered in France. Think of Voltaire, Rousseau, Sartre. I have imagined here a French philosopher meeting an old swami in rural India.
Both are accompanied by a student or disciple. The French philosopher… and his student use books and computers, the Indian sage uses nothing, his disciple holds a simple scroll.Their dialogue is intense, respectful, intriguing. Rationality versus meditation, logic versus inspiration, technology versus naturalism. In the back of the scene, some people are doing yoga, and there is a Hindu temple and a pond. Else, some animals and trees and some jungle. Everything seems peaceful under the moon.This is pure fantasy inspired by my own imagination. This work is sold but two similar are available.

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.
