Matea Kovač (b. 1993, Croatia) graduated in Animated Film and New Media from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. Her entry into the field of filmmaking is marked by an exploration of various ways to interpret her own emotions and experiences of identity. Through her work, she moves away from conformity, physically materializing her thoughts as a means of self-discovery and introspection. She is the author of the animated film „Y“, which has been screened at over 90 international festivals and has received 12 film awards and special recognitions. As a production collaborator, she has contributed to the realization of numerous films across different genres and formats. Her artistic approach is not confined to a specific style, theme, or medium—rather, she remains open to exploring diverse visual languages and techniques.

Project info

During her residency at MQ, Matea Kovač, together with sculptor Ana Maria Maravić, will work on developing visuals for a picture book, which they plan to adapt into a short animated film in the near future. This residency will allow the artist to explore the intersection of different media—sculpture and animation—blending both to create a distinctive artistic style.
