The Mediterranean Cypress is a peculiar species of tree that, by nature, is made to live in a direct sunny climate, but has the ability to stand firm and keep growing even under the most terrible frosts.

Is this a botany class?

Obviously not. But it is my way of starting this article. Let me introduce you to The Dark One.

Of French origin, he defines himself as a simple and empathic man, he enjoys talking, sharing thoughts and feelings, with great interest in meeting different people and cultures, he is a 42 years old digital artist with a mind full of ideas.

He started in this activity in December of last year 2023, who from a very young age began to imagine and create stories, as well as drawing things like dragons or robots, with a focus on dark fantasy.

Despite the passage of time, his imagination has not faded, he has decided to continue to create and reconnect with his inner child, he is ready to create anything that comes from his mind.

Calling his creations DarkArt, he uses a semi-realistic aesthetic with a surrealistic style without leaving behind the dark fantasy themes that have accompanied him so much.

With more than a thousand publications ranging from menacing creatures of imposing size, to beautiful silhouettes in magical scenery.

Especially if you are interested in this dark art, you will find many creations of his imagination that will fascinate you.

I invite you to follow his work very closely, and discover all the stories that his publications have behind them.

With inspiration coming both from music and from his own life, his works of art, although somber, keep a light present, because no matter how fantastic or chimerical they may seem, they have a strong emotional charge, and this is where my introduction makes sense.

Well, like the Cypresses, The Dark One showed that he could continue to grow despite having to constantly rebuild himself, even under those terrible frosts (devastating times throughout his life) that could bring down anyone, he managed to recover, standing firm.

Even after several falls and having to face his inner rage, he had the opportunity to focus on himself and be able to develop himself to resurface with one of his favorite phrases as a banner: "whatever we are going through there's always a light through the darkness", the same message that is embodied in his art in an intrinsic way.

His goal is to edit and publish books of his own authorship, however, for the moment he is learning and improving his work, which you can find on his instagram (which I will share with you in a second).
