Rafik El Kamel (1944-2018)

This stamp pays tribute to Rafik El Kamel (1944-2018), one of the most influential painters on the Tunisian contemporary scene. The portrait, treated with an aesthetic that recalls his pictorial research on light and matter, celebrates the memory of a master of abstraction who knew how to renew the visual language in Tunisia. By devoting a program to this artist, the Tunisian Post honors the role of creators in the enrichment of national culture and the promotion of Tunisian art on an international scale. It is a recognition of academic excellence and creative freedom.
