Renji Murata is a [Japanese artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami-1) and designer who has really set himself apart with his unique style of combining [Art Deco](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm11-art-deco) with Japanese anime elements. The stereotypical [anime style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anigenie) is apparent in his artwork in the shape of the eyes of his female muses and their generous proportions. However, these characters are incredibly lifelike as well. As an award-winning artist, it’s no surprise that Renji Murata is so celebrated in his field, since he is so talented.
