Elio Murat is a French digital illustrator living in Paris.

His cinematographic illustrations take us to the border between fiction and reality in colorful, dreamlike, and narrative universes.

He shares insights into his creative universe: "My illustrations are conceived as freeze-frames from a film for which I would be the scriptwriter and director. The viewer is projected into a scene, with the keys to understanding provided by the numerous details that compose it. I design my collections as narrative series, much like a Cluedo game, while ensuring that each illustration in a collection can be appreciated independently of the others.

My creative universe is a dream of elsewhere, sublimated or fantasized. When I draw a scene, I view it through the prism of a fantasized exoticism where memories and imagination, inspired by my favorite artists, mingle. Ultimately, it is my passion for creating stories that animates my collections."
