About this artwork
The banyan tree can be seen often in India where it is a symbol of fertility and long life. In Hindu stories, the banyan tree symbolises the universe's periodic death and rebirth, when everything that exists dissolves into a ceaseless sea. Therefore the banyan tree is often considered as a sacred tree, under which sadhus and devotees can take refuge and meditate.
Here the banyan tree shelters a muslim tomb and in the back of the forest one can… guess a Hindu temple.
The whole atmosphere is quiet, peaceful, meditative. Very Indian.
I have made this ink and wash sketch after an image I noticed in some art book.
Available in A3 format with a white mount and a black glass frame.

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.
