Sculpture by Hédi Selmi: “Fisherman of men”
This stamp pays tribute to the sculptor Hédi Selmi (1934-1995) through his monumental work in bronze. The sculpture represents a group of stylized figures handling a conical fishing net.
Selmi is a major figure in modern sculpture in Tunisia. His style, marked by stretched and textured shapes, here explores the theme of collective work and human effort. The work evokes the struggle for survival and solidarity, transforming a daily gesture into an allegory of the human condition.
