Born in 1958 in Byblos, Robert Bared has lived in Paris since 1975.
He attended university at the Sorbonne (literature, aesthetics, art history), then worked as editor.
Over the last fifteen years, he has devoted his time to photography (urban scenes) and writing. As for his first exhibits, dating from 2011, he owes them to Irma Toudjian (Italy).
Today, he collaborates with Chris Boïcos Fine arts in Paris, and with Myeong-Hee Kim (Beauté du Matin Calme) in Corea and Japan.
