Zinko Galia

I am a visual storyteller and illustrator based in Zagreb, Croatia. I have been working professionally since 2009, creating illustrations for 35+ book editions across Europe, Russia, and the USA, as well as animation videos and book trailers. I studied at Kharkiv Art Academy and hold a Master’s degree. I collaborate with world publishers and designers, delivering digital illustration, animation-ready artwork, and engaging visual concepts.

I’ve collaborated with brands like L’Occitane, the Russian Post, and Metropol Hotel, and my work has earned multiple awards, including the Image of the Book in 2014, 2018, 2019, and 2025 in categories for Best Illustrations for Children and Teens and Authors Book. I’m a regular participant at major book fairs in Moscow, Bologna, and Frankfurt, and I continue to explore new stories through illustration, animation, and book design.
