Queens have played proactive and vital roles throughout the Armenian history. They have not only been the faithful spouses and close supporters of the kings but often their worthy advisors. Armenian wise and prudent queens were highly influential in the critical periods of the country’s history. They advocated causes such as women’s education, freedom, and equality, even in the middle ages. Additionally, they were the primary promoters of cultural values. Ardēan designed shawls with Armenian ornaments and slices from St. Gregory of Narek’s prayers to embody the spirit of our queens’ nobility and splendor.

One of the most commending means of preserving a nation is creating an alphabet. The Armenian alphabet was created in the 5th century by the Armenian linguist and ecclesiastical leader, Mesrop Mashtots. The Armenian alphabet became the base for protecting the Armenian language and identity.Over centuries, miniature paintings started to appear, further embellishing the style of writing and the art of illuminated manuscripts.Inspired by the miniature paintings of the middle ages, we created “The Dream of Mastots” using gold, one of the essential colors in miniature paintings.
