"Sunflowers - Limited Edition of 30" Photograph

Cyrille Mulot is a versatile artist living in Caen, Normandy. He develops a unique body of work where photography and drawing engage in a dialogue, serving a romantic aesthetic.

Whether capturing reality during his travels or staging fictional characters, his photography transports us into a suspended realm between history and mythology. His portraits are striking for their intensity and depth. They are conceived as moments held between realism and invention, where the face becomes a mask, an enigma. The photographer explores the ambiguity of expressions, the feeling that eludes language to let emotion burst forth.

A gifted draftsman, the artist works with various media to create pieces that echo his photographic practice, amplifying and distorting it, shifting between realism and the fantastic. The beauty of the faces he depicts sometimes unravels, revealing grief, horror, and the suffering inherent in an inner quest. Like the man himself, his work continues to evolve and transform through a painful process of maturation.

Cyrille’s art invites the viewer to contemplate each moment as a poetic fragment, an inner theatre where the intimate and the universal meet, where memory and dream, splendor and melancholy converge. By shaping light and materials, he highlights the fragile beauty of human beings and his enduring fascination with the passage of time.
