Blind Talents on Latvijas Pasts Stamp:
Latvijas Pasts in collaboration with the social company "BlindArt" has released a new stamp and a First Day Cover featuring works of art created by using the tactile painting technique, which is a way of painting adapted to visually impaired persons.
Tactile painting is a special type of drawing adapted to visually impaired persons. Paper is attached to a specially designed drawing object and a stylus is used to centre-punch the contour of the drawing object. The resulting silhouette of the drawing is turned over and painting with specialised finger paints or oil chalks is carried out by touching the tactile dots made in the centre-punching process.
This painting technique has been used in fairy tale books published in Latvia, as well as, in numerous exhibitions, receiving awards at the local and international levels.
The drawings have been made by the students of Strazdumuiza Residential Secondary School.
The design of the Stamp and the First Day Cover incorporates several works created during the classes of visual and tactile art at the development centre of the School by pupils of grades 4 to 8, working jointly under the supervision of the teacher Baiba Pika.
The stamp and First Day Cover portrays the works of artists - Agnese Araja, Konstantins Bodrovs, Jakovs Burljajevs, Maija Fogele, Ilva Gailite, Eliza Kupruka, Lelde Kempele, Janis Lejnieks, Laine Liepina, Amanda Nicmane, Deniss Ovsjannikovs, Agnese Puisane, Zana Purina, Janis Putnins, Romans Timofejevs and Sofija Voronka. The layout corresponding to the philatelic issues has been designed by the artist Ludis Danilans.
