Armenian Calligraphy Viewed by Ruben Malayan

The below-presented animation displays Armenian calligraphy. The animation was created by Armenian artist and designer Ruben Malayan, while the music was written back in the days by Armenian composer Komitas.

Ruben Malayan has long been studying ancient Armenian manuscripts. One could consider him the one responsible for the revival of Armenian calligraphy. His personal website houses some beautiful images of Armenian calligraphy.

Apart from that, it could provide you with useful information if you want to know more about the art. Additionally, you could familiarize yourself with a fairly recent interview where Malayan shares his knowledge of Armenian calligraphy.
