Our Vision and Mission
Artbook Garden is a small family-run publishing house dedicated to creating original and artistic books. Our passion lies in bibliophilia, art books, and monographs, with a growing interest in creating enchanting children’s books to add to our portfolio.
Unlike large publishers that release countless titles each year, we embrace a meticulous, hands-on approach. Each of our books begins with a creative idea, brought to life through our in-house graphic design and physical production. This thorough process can take significant time, ensuring that every detail is perfect.
Our work is both time-intensive and logistically demanding, but we believe the creativity and artistic value of our books make them truly unique. At Artbook Garden, every publication is a labor of love, designed to inspire and connect with readers, art enthusiasts, and collectors alike.
Creative process
At Artbook Garden, every book is a journey of creativity and craftsmanship. Our process begins with a compelling concept, inspired by our deep appreciation for art, literature, and storytelling. Next, our talented team meticulously designs visually striking layouts that reflect the essence of each project. From typography to imagery, every element is chosen with care to enhance the book’s artistic impact.
Once the design is finalized, we move on to material selection, ensuring that only the finest papers, inks, and finishes are used. Binding, printing, and finishing are handled with precision and attention to detail, resulting in a beautifully crafted book that stands the test of time.
Through this thoughtful and hands-on approach, we strive to create books that are not only high-quality but also deeply meaningful to our readers. Each book we publish is a testament to our dedication and artistic vision.
Relationship with art
Artbook Garden is deeply rooted in a lifelong passion for art, guided by the passion of our founder, Matej Gábris. A masterful banknote designer, his artistic journey his journey began as a boy, mesmerized by the intricate design and textures that tell stories beyond words. For over 40 years, he has refined his art form, mastering the balance between precision and imagination.
His unique artistic style brings an extraordinary perspective, adding soul and character to every creation. This blending of technical prowess with creative storytelling is reflected in the distinctive character of our publications.
The Artbook Garden shop will also feature his personal work, including banknotes and other graphic designs, offering collectors and art enthusiasts a chance to explore the artistry behind his specific creations.
Future Aspirations
At Artbook Garden, our vision extends beyond the books we create today. We are eager to explore new genres, particularly children’s literature, because we believe that early exposure to art and storytelling can positively inspire young readers.
Our ambitions also include fostering a vibrant community of art and literature enthusiasts through workshops, exhibitions, and creative collaborations. We aim to inspire and connect individuals who share our passion for art and literature.
Artbook Garden is built on the principle of quality over quantity, ensuring that every book we produce is a true work of art. Our deep love for art and literature is the foundation of our work, and we take pride in the care and creativity that goes into our publications.
We believe that every page tells a story, and we are honored to share those stories with the world.
