Stamp by Javier Roz
fictional stamp
The publication of a postal stamp is often a homage paid by a nation to a place, an event, a remarkable cause or a character which count. The painters and other artists do not escape from this rule. Some are however "forgotten" of postal art. Here, gathered below (French or foreign), emitted stamps (206) or simple studies of stamp (224) in homage to the artists represented on our website. The first French stamp was emitted in 1849, England preceded us by ten years. There is often a share of voyage in this small form of shape paper. The stamp circulates, sails, flies away, it makes dream, then dream a little. M.C.
When the stamp is really emitted, the artist name is preceded of an asterisk (*). It is certain that we do not know each stamp emitted for such or such artist; do not hesitate with us to make known them!

Javier Roz was born in Plasencia, Spin in 1975. He studied medicine from 1995-2000, then dedicates himself to art. He studies photography in 1998/1999 under the direction of photographer Miguel Angel Toro, then later studies cinema, mainly short films. He learns engraving in 2001 under Luis Astuy at the P.A. Grabados studio in Malaga.
Today he works and lives In Malaga and exhibited for the first time in France with 56 of his engravings in Saint-Herblain-Nantes in 2007. A multi-disciplinary artist, Javier Roz is self-taught, passionate about poetry. He expresses himself through his engraving, drawing, photography and video. As well, Javier Roz has illustrated several books, Pedro Casariego’s “Que mas da”. His different medias permits him, with emphasis sometimes and always with subtly, to construct stories or to illustrate personal experiences.
He is inspired by Beckett, Cioran and Cezanne. His work is the realization of a project that is born from an image or from a simple idea. The artist explores the world and reflects on the bias’ of its overflowing creativity.
Thirteen solo exhibitions, essentially in Spain (Sevilla, Malaga, Madrid) have been dedicated to this young talented artist and Roz has already participated in more than 30 collective artistic events (graphic art and others). The artist has come first in several competitions (in 2004 he received the special prize “Young Andalucian Artists”) and some of his works are in the collection of museums in Italy, Spain and France. His engravings, with collages of transparent rhodoid film, are often enhanced by hand. The artist, passionate by new methods of communication, created a blog on his own work, a space open to various subjects that interest him. Like Christian Bozon, he belongs to ‘Taller Gravura’, the engraving studio of Paco Aguilar in Malaga, whose tutorage he has worked under since 2001. Javier Roz often writes for the ‘Salamandria’, a literary revue of the south of Spain, and is an assistant professor at a photography school in Malaga. In 2003 he produced his first silk-screen paintings.
Artists on display
The art and the artists display: proclamations, galleries, museums, personal or collective exhibitions. On walls or in shop windows, wise or rebels, posters warn, argue, show. Some were specially conceived by an artist for such or such event, other, colder, have only the letter.
Some were created in lithographic technic, most are simple offset reproductions. They are many those who like collecting these rectangles of paper, monochrome or in games of colours, in matt paper or brilliant, with many words or almost dumb.
We are happy also to be able to greet, by this pages, mythical galleries as those of Denise René, Louis Carré, Claude Bernard, Berheim Jeune, Maeght, Pierre Loeb and others.
