He is proficient in French and English. Colleagues describe him as "Patrick is an exceptional artist. He is definitively one of the best character designers I have had the chance to work with in my career. His astonishing drawing talent shows a precise understanding of volume, 3-D space, and what is done in the modeling department. On the first movie we worked together, the shading on his characters was so accurate that I didn't need multiple views to understand their volumes. For a modeler, it is so nice to work with Patrick, not only because of his beautiful designs but also for his interpersonal skills; He is extremely patient and such a good person. His notes are precise and to the point. His love of teaching about design reflects on his cooperation with modelers, it elevates the quality of the final model tremendously, and I really feel like I'm better at my job because of it. He is decisively a major design asset any production could have." and "Patrick Mate….. writing a recommendation for a so talented craftsman, painter and animator is sincerly an honor. Back to Gobelin animation classes in the mid 80's he was the drawing reference for all of us, mixing Marvel and Disney influences with this smart appealing touch, the young Patrick drawings and animations was so mature that he simply pushes up the entire class level….. last but not least he was also the clean up master! Several years later I shared time with him at "Les Cartooneurs associés" when he comes up with this incredible morph-surealistic TV short project : "Jacques le Cochon" as author, director, designer….and animator ! each episode comes with a stupendous character design already showing his brilliant style at the crossroads of gold age cartoon and academic caricature, melting extreme exaggeration, accurate anatomy knowlegde and extreme sensibility ! As he loves to draw "cute" characters, he had a "cute" soul … always helping, sharing and drawing nice caricature gifts he's the one you'd like to have at the head of an art team, with a precise view of what he wants and the gentle manner to have people working with him catching the same goal."
