Featured Artist  .  Abstract Art Stamp Series  .  Philatelic Department of CPost  .  Curaçao

These stamps are a combination of various fragments of paintings of the artist Ariadne Faries. Each stamp depicts a work of art while a person is observing and processing it's meaning. The silhouette within the painting gives each stamp a new dimension, the feeling of a museum where people can enjoy the fine arts. The person merges with the piece of art while appreciating it and becomes part of it. The stamp series "Abstract Art" was designed to promote all the arts with a focus on the visual arts. CPost with this emission, wants to bring contemporary art closer to the people. 
​
Ariadne Faries has designed 29 series of stamps for Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles and the Dutch Caribbean.
