The postage stamp features the masterpiece *The Joys of Life* (1901–1902) by the world-renowned Czech artist and visionary František Kupka. This artist of international stature, who spent a significant part of his life in the artistic circles of Paris, has left an indelible mark on history as one of the leading pioneers of modern abstract painting. Through his work, he defined an entirely new artistic movement that sought to forge a connection between painting, poetry and the rhythm of music. The painting ‘The Joys of Life’ dates from Kupka’s early Symbolist period. What makes his work so sought-after worldwide and immensely compelling is the artist’s lifelong, profound interest in spirituality and Eastern philosophies. Kupka projected inner serenity, cosmic order and mystery onto his canvases, making his work a fascinating and natural bridge between European modern art and the Eastern perception of the world. Why choose this particular stamp: An icon of world art: An opportunity to own a miniature work by an artist whose canvases now grace the walls of the most prestigious international galleries. Spiritual and philosophical significance: The motif radiates inner peace and positive energy, directly inspired by the artist’s connection to mysticism and Eastern teachings.
