Original print by Enki Bilal, signed and numbered. This captivating work juxtaposes humanity and ocean animals in a striking futuristic scene. In the foreground, two individuals with determined expressions stand out, their elegant and mystical presence contrasting with the background. Their silhouettes are superimposed on an imposing marine mammal, evoking strength and tranquility. Shades of blue and gray dominate, creating an atmosphere that is both serene and dynamic. Aerodynamically shaped flying fish cross the sky, emphasizing movement. Reflections and shadows are meticulously crafted, adding depth and realism. This work transports the viewer to a world where art and animals merge, prompting reflections on our connection to the future.

Presentation
Enki Bilal, born Enes Bilal on October 7, 1951, in Belgrade, is a Franco-Serbian comic book artist, painter, and filmmaker. A leading figure in European graphic novels, he is renowned for his futuristic, dystopian, and poetically engaged universe, blending science fiction, politics, and humanist reflection.
Born to a Czech mother and a Bosnian Muslim father—a former tailor for Tito—Bilal emigrated to France at the age of 10. He discovered comics through Pilote magazine, where he published his first drawings in 1972. His encounter with scriptwriter Pierre Christin marked the beginning of a successful collaboration, resulting in key works such as The Cruise of Lost Souls (1975), The Black Order Brigade (1979), and The Hunting Party (1983).
Bilal gained international fame with his Nikopol Trilogy: The Carnival of Immortals (1980), The Woman Trap (1986), and Cold Equator (1992). This visionary saga—merging political themes, Egyptian mythology, and cyberpunk aesthetics—was praised for its rich narrative and singular visual style.
In the 2000s, he continued his exploration of the world's dysfunctions with The Monster Tetralogy (1998–2007), centered on Nike Hatzfeld, a survivor of the Balkan wars, and the Coup de Sang Trilogy (Animal'z, Julia & Roem, The Color of Air), which addressed climate issues and human transformation.
Alongside his work in comics, Bilal directed several films, including Bunker Palace Hôtel (1989), Tykho Moon (1996), and Immortel (ad vitam) (2004), a loose adaptation of his Nikopol Trilogy. He also collaborated with Alain Resnais on Life Is a Bed of Roses (1983), designing its sets and costumes.
Bilal is one of the few comic artists to have exhibited at the Louvre, with The Ghosts of the Louvre (2012–2013), a series of paintings layered over photographs of museum masterpieces. He has also shown his work at the Musée des Arts et Métiers (Mécanhumanimal, 2013), the Musée de l'Homme (Carte Blanche, 2022), and the Giorgio Cini Foundation in Venice (Inbox, 2015).
Among his honors are the Grand Prix of the Angoulême Festival (1987), the Adamson Award in Sweden (1999), and the title of Chevalier of the Legion of Honor (2010). In 2019, he served on the Cannes Film Festival jury.
Enki Bilal continues to probe the boundaries between imagination and reality, addressing technological change, political drift, and ecological crises through a body of work that is dense, visionary, and profoundly humanist.
