Zoubeïr Turki (1924-2009)

This stamp pays tribute to Zoubeïr Turki (1924-2009), monumental figure of the visual arts in Tunisia and one of the founders of the School of Tunis. The visual superimposes his portrait on a sculptural representation of his hand holding a brush, symbolizing his mastery of line and his role as visual chronicler of Tunisian life. Famous for his drawings capturing the essence of the inhabitants of the medinas and for his monumental frescoes, Turki embodies an artistic modernity deeply rooted in national identity and urban elegance, whose work continues to influence the country's cultural scene.
