Yassen Gyuselev painted the big arcanes for Leonardo Tarot in 1991. His cards became incredibly successfull among connoisseurs world-wide. 10 years later, Lo Scarabeo commissioned Atanas Atanasov the far from easy task to paint the small arcanes in the same style. The artists have been close friends for more than twenty years. Both have studied art at the High School of Fine Arts with Professor Plamen Valchev.
