Cyrille Druart

Cyrille Druart was born in 1980 in Paris. His interest in Art leads to experimenting various fields from an early age. In parallel with Design studies at ESAG-Penninghen in Paris, he learns photography by himself and begins travelling in order to make images. He focuses his work on big cities of the world, bringing interest in the observation of people, how they behave and interact. Loneliness is also at the center of his images, as paradoxically in the heart of urban lives. Regularly browsing large cities wandering randomly, he uses almost exclusively black and white as means of representation. The goal is not only to freeze time, but to take off fragments of reality to create individual images, made of a substance of their own.
