For over 40 years, Enki Bilal has been a familiar presence both in bookstores and in museums. This French artist, of Yugoslavian heritage, has captivated audiences with his distinctive universe of science fiction, which explores questions of the past as well as the future. Bilal regularly delves into themes such as memory, climate change, religious obscurantism, human evolution, and the human body...

He is the creator of numerous comics, as well as films, TV series, and stage productions. His work has been showcased at the Louvre, the Museum of Arts and Crafts, and the Musée de l'Homme, among other art galleries... Starting June 11, 2026, Enki Bilal takes on an exciting new challenge.
