Description

This stunning 2001 issue is one of the most painterly series in D. Vangelli's portfolio. The designer opted for soft, saturated colors that capture the natural beauty of aquatic flora. The stamps present individual lily species against a muted, golden background, giving them an air of elegance. The souvenir sheet is a true masterpiece—depicting a vast pond panorama from a water-level perspective, where massive leaves and vibrant flowers create an almost impressionistic scene.
