Marc Boulay, a passionate artist and author, operates at the intersection of art and science, imagining the evolution of life—whether past, future, unknown, or extraterrestrial. His speculative art is rooted in scientific rigor and boundless creativity, enabling him to design universes and species that push the limits of imagination.

He is the initiator and lead author of Tomorrow’s Animals of the Future (Boulay/Steyer, Belin) and co-author of How Many Fingers Does an Alien Have? (Lehoucq/Steyer/Boulay, Belin). These works reflect his commitment to exploring evolutionary possibilities through immersive visual narratives and innovative concepts.

His expertise has led to timeless creations like Another World and Carnets de Voyages Stellaires, as well as large-scale immersive projects, such as the final scene of Cartes Postales Interstellaires, realized in 360°/12k for the Planetarium at the Cité des Sciences in Paris.

Constantly seeking new horizons, he designs and brings to life unique biomes and worlds, enriched by collaborations with scientists from various fields. These exchanges lend his creations a biologically, anatomically, and ecosystemically realistic foundation, merging imagination and scientific precision into results that are both improbable and perfectly coherent.

Through his work, he invites diverse audiences to embark on his motionless journeys, revealing life forms that are both original and unexpected. Whether through his books, conferences, concept art projects, or artistic direction, he shares a singular vision of evolution, framed imagination, and speculative art.
