Founder & Executive Creative Director
Studio
For fifteen years we've looked mostly forward. Every now and then we glance back, and realize how much ground we've covered on our own two feet.
Kinopatia is a creative studio for animation, CGI, and motion design. This is who we are, and how we think.
Where we come from
Born from craft, not from a business plan.
Kinopatia grew out of a vertical obsession with 3D and CGI, a small group of people who cared more about how something was made than about how it was sold.
Today we're a structured studio with a centralized creative direction and a scalable production pipeline, built to meet the complexity of large brands. But the obsession hasn't changed. It's still about the craft.
How we see the field
We don't count competitors. We collect references.
We've never been comfortable with the word "competitor." The studios we admire are the ones we learn from, their solutions, their approach, everything worth learning by looking closely.
We've always looked forward, rarely to the side. It's the only way we know how to grow.
How we work
Two visions, one result.
We don't wait for the brief to tell us what to think. We arrive with something already forming, and we hold two creative visions at once, ours and yours, until they become a single, coherent thing.
It's not a compromise. It's a synthesis.
And it only works when there's no distance between the people who imagine the work and the people who make it. With us, there isn't.
Where craft meets the new
We didn't wait for AI. We learned to make it ours.
Artificial intelligence isn't a shortcut we bolted on. It's a set of tools we've woven deep into how we work, from generative visuals to production pipelines that would have been impossible a few years ago.
The difference is what we bring to it: fifteen years of craft. AI in the hands of people who already know how to make things doesn't replace the work. It expands what the work can become.
Who we work with
Big brands through agencies. Real relationships direct.
Working alongside creative agencies opens the door to the largest brands, the biggest pitches, the most ambitious productions.
But some of our most meaningful work comes from clients we work with directly, no intermediaries, just a straight conversation and the kind of continuity that turns a project into a partnership.
We're built for both.
The people
A small core.
A wide network.

Around this core, a trusted network of artists and collaborators across Europe, assembled project by project, around what each production needs.
Where we are
Italian roots. Croatian base. European reach.
Our studio bridges two countries and a network that stretches across the continent. Wherever a project lives, we build the right team around it.
