Sign to the fallen - Limited Edition of 30 Photograph

Cyrille Mulot is a fine art photographer based in Caen, France, though his artistic journey is deeply infused with the memories of his youth in Morocco. In his adopted Normandy, he has exchanged the blue skies of his childhood for the more contrasted heavens cherished by the Romantics. His main artistic practice lies in the creation of portraits, a field in which he excels. Often, Cyrille stages romantic characters to conceive a dark and aesthetic universe that fuses history and mythology. Each portrait is envisioned as a scene suspended between realism and invention, where the face becomes a mask, a trace, an enigma. He seeks out the imperceptible flaw and the realistic lighting that lend his portraits a subtle sense of decadence, a melancholia that recalls the worlds of circus and cabaret. By sculpting light and texture, the artist highlights the fragile beauty of human beings and his obsession with the passage of time. Cyrille prefers to work alone on his projects, conceptualizing and producing each composition himself. His artistic approach rests on the confrontation between the immediacy of digital photography and a meticulous, handcrafted process to build his subjects. In addition to his portraits, he also creates landscape photographs and drawings that accompany the scenography of his exhibitions, thus shaping a romantic universe in harmony with his singular portraits. His work invites the viewer to contemplate the moment as a poetic fragment — an inner theater where intimacy and universality, memory and dream, splendor and melancholy converge.
