About this artwork
Scene reimagined from a visit at Tiracol Fort, an old Goan Fort which is located on the border of Goa and Maharashtra States in India. The scene is a kind of 'Music Room' (remember Satyajit Ray?) where a young Indian lady plays the sitar, while dreaming of escaping far away, by sea or through a jungle. This is for me a Goan Metaphor for our covid pandemic dreams. This watercolor painting was done just after my return from Goa in April 2020. Soft… pencil drawing and water coloring.
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.
