INSPIRATION
A blossoming world in perpetual motion
 

Cyril Destrade’s personal universe exudes a powerful optimism.
He gets his artistic strength from a special treatment of colours
that stream onto the paper grain with energy.

 

The artist’s positive energy and love for life appear
through his artworks. His imaginary world stands
on the boundary between the narrative and the abstract;
he creates a world in which a dreamlike fauna and a flourishing
flora respond to each other, a universe
where nothing is fixed, in perpetual motion. 

 

The watercolour technique favours Cyril Destrade’s artistic project:
he works using pure inks that he lies on the paper either
with a paintbrush or a quill to get a more precise rendering.
Abstract shapes arise from the encounter of different shades
and quill strokes, sometimes, make their meaning more accurate. 

 

The achievement of Cyril Destrade’s artworks is highly spontaneous;
he seldom retouches his works seeking to portray the authenticity
of his emotions.
