Description from the seller
Symbiose II
A human presence.
A form born from the depths.
Here, the octopus is neither decoration nor provocation.
It is matter, symbol, breath.
A slow metamorphosis, almost ritual,
where strangeness becomes gentleness and silence, language.

- Date 2026
- Pigment print on Epson Velvet Fine Art 300-gram Paper

Cédric Brion – Photographer
Born in 1978 in Belgium, Cédric Brion is a recognized photographer known for his conceptual portraits with dark, cinematic atmospheres.
Inspired by fantastical worlds and ancient civilizations, he explores through his images the contrasts between shadow and light, revealing the emotional and symbolic dimension of the human face.
His work, presented in numerous international exhibitions, including in London, the Grand Palais in Paris, Lille ARTUP in Lille, and the Venice Biennale, has been recognized with several prestigious distinctions, including an honorable mention at the Salon des Artistes Français, as well as a gold medal at the Vienna International Photo Awards and a bronze medal at the Tokyo International Foto Awards.
Through a singular fine-art aesthetic, Cédric Brion creates portraits like open windows onto imaginary worlds, inviting the viewer to dive into a visual experience that is at once poetic and introspective.
Seller's Story
Internationally exhibited artist – numerous 5-star reviews.
My name is Cédric Brion.
I am a freelance photographic artist, born in 1978 in the Belgian suburb of Mons, where I currently reside.
Having always been interested in the visual arts, I developed a passion for photography at the age of 18.
My first tool was a film camera, and I developed my photographs in the darkness of my bedroom.
After several years of research and experience, I entered the world of professional photography through various competitions and assignments in the business sector.
Motivation and Vision
My fascination with creating portraits in dark, brooding atmospheres stems from my early childhood.
Since then, I have been captivated by fantastical worlds and strive to create portraits that transport viewers into alternate universes.
I envision my portraits as windows opening onto imaginary realms. From the darkness of the soul can emerge a clarity that moves me. Light that is too bright often dazzles, while darkness magnifies it. I aim to capture these contrasts in my portraits. Ancient civilizations have always been a source of inspiration for me. I aspire for my portraits to resonate with viewers, allowing them to see and recognize themselves within.
