Kurato is a WordPress portfolio theme for artists, photographers, filmmakers, and motion designers. It shows your work like a film: a reel with a timecode, a scrubber, and a filmstrip, instead of a plain grid.

It comes with three demos, 33 home pages, and 70 sections. Every section works in the block editor and in Elementor, and you do not need Elementor Pro.

Three demos, ready to import

• Kurato Artist: an oil painter’s portfolio, with a shop for paintings and prints. Night mode.
• Kurato Photographer: a landscape photographer’s series, prints, and journal. Day mode.
• Kurato Motion: a motion designer’s work, services, and journal. Night mode.

Import one with One Click Demo Import, with its pages, projects, and shop. Each demo comes with eleven home pages. After the import, pick one in Settings > Reading.
