About Cyb – A Traveler of Artistic Darkness Cyb, whose real name is Cédric, was born in 1980 in northern France, in a small town called Bois-Bernard. This place, both mystical and prophetic, seemed to lay the groundwork for his universe. Between "Bois" (woods), the quintessential setting for horror films, and "Bernard," an unintentional nod to the iconic Bernard Minet (a must-know for fans of the Club Dorothée generation), it was as though fate had hinted at the singular path awaiting Cyb. From a young age, he was captivated by manga and the horror genre, which became major sources of inspiration. Though he never had the opportunity to pursue formal art studies, this self-taught enthusiast found his way into photomontage as an adult. Driven by an insatiable desire to bring his visions to life, he taught himself the craft, refining his technique to achieve strikingly realistic creations. In 2012, following a difficult chapter marked by the loss of his cybercafé, Cyb refused to succumb to inactivity. Instead, he transformed this setback into a launching pad for his artistic growth. It was during this time that he created his website, initially intended to share his world with friends and family. To his surprise, the digital horror lair he built began attracting curious visitors far beyond his personal circle. Encouraged by enthusiastic feedback, Cyb decided to open the doors of his dark and fascinating universe to a wider audience. Cyb draws inspiration from masters of horror and fantasy such as Rob Zombie, John Carpenter, Wes Craven, Sam Raimi, George A. Romero, and Stephen King. Through his work, he explores themes that blend beauty, macabre, and mystery, capturing the very essence of horror in his portraits. His portfolio offers a window into a world as unsettling as it is captivating, where every detail tells a story. With his creations, Cyb invites viewers to immerse themselves in a deeply personal vision of a realm steeped in darkness and vanity. Prepare to step into the strange and discover portraits that challenge conventions, exposing the hidden face of the human soul.
