Artokens
ARTOKENS CATEGORIES
Artokens™ are visual reflections of the world, capturing the essence of a form

transforming them into a pure, minimal, symbol-like concept.

What are Artokens?
Artokens are created and originated by the visual artist Mihail Korubin. They represent the core essence of words and ideas using geometric symbols. These artworks depict the universe with a minimalist aesthetic, crafted from a select few nearly flawless geometric shapes. The term ‘Artokens’ is formed by combining ‘Art’ and ‘Tokens,’ signifying artistic expression through visually symbolic depictions of linguistic concepts.
ARTOKENS FUNDAMENTALS
Basic Components
Artokens use only straight lines and three geometric shapes: hexagons, equilateral triangles, and circles. These simple forms are the foundation for expressing words and ideas, allowing for creativity within a clear structure.
Accents
Arrows and dots can be added to show direction or serve as design accents and grammatical markers. They are additions, not counted as part of the main geometric shapes.
Composition and Shape Limits
Each Artoken, including Supreme versions, can include up to 18 geometric shapes (not counting dots and arrows). Using all 18 shapes isn’t required—often, simpler designs are more striking.
Supreme vs. Primary Artokens
Supreme Artokens are more complex and colorful and are used for words with special meaning or significance. Primary Artokens are simpler, monochrome, and used for everyday writing, covering every word in the Artoken language. (More about primary Artokens in the Artokens book—Volume 1)
Partial Shapes
Shapes don’t have to be used fully—halves or thirds are allowed, depending on the design.
Shape Restrictions
Only hexagons, equilateral triangles, and circles are permitted. Sometimes, overlaps may create the illusion of new shapes, but only the three core shapes are officially used.
Maintaining Structure
All shapes must keep their original proportions (for example, triangles must always be equilateral) to preserve consistency and integrity in Artoken design.
Specifications and Editions
1. Every Supreme Artoken is always the same dimension and is framed in the same manner. Only the color of the edition or the unique special edition, Artokens, can change. The Artokens cannot be purchased in a different format.
2. All Supreme Artokens are 35 cm x 35 cm. Every Supreme Artoken is framed between two sets of crystal-clear glass, finished with a handcrafted wooden frame with a metal finish or black finish, and is ready to be mounted.
3. Every Supreme Artoken is hand-drawn, hand-signed, and numbered by Mihail Korubin.
4. Artokens are accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and are packed in a specially designed box. Each Artoken has a serial code that prevents forgery.
LIMITED EDITION NOTE:
Important: New designs for words that have already been made will never be repeated. For example, there will be only one artwork for the word “Eternal,” and once all pieces are purchased, that Artoken will never be drawn and sold again in its original form as an Artoken. Not all Artokens will be available at the same time.
