Unique style laid on the cartography base

Atayan Ruben works in original engineering techniques from the XVII century: manually, ink and watercolor. The special attention is given to general decoration of panoramas, where elements are stylised to antique maps.

Unrepeatable style makes Atayan Ruben one of a kind. In the collection of the artist there are more than 120 hand drawn artworks. The originals are made in miniature from 21.0 x 29.7 cm to 84.1 cm × 118.9 cm
