First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the World Stamp Show in New York City.
About the Colorful Celebrations set: 10 stamps picturing Spanish papel picado (pierced paper) designs in different colors (light blue, orange, violet, or rose pink). Intended to celebrate a wide variety of occasions one might send mail for.
History the stamp represents: The artists who make papel picado are as varied as the works they create. Contemporary artists are experimenting with new ways of creating and presenting this traditional art form.
Pedro Ortega Lozano, from Tlahuac in Mexico’s Federal District, uses papel picado to chronicle the stories of his town. He carves scenes from daily life and local myths into his paper. As he explains, “just as happiness lasts a tiny moment, paper is also a tiny moment.” Lozano uses embossed aluminum, metallic tissue, and other kinds of paper for his papel picado. The altars he creates with these materials are highly prized by collectors around the world.
Olga Ponce Furginson learned about the art of cutting paper at a young age from her father. After several years in various art fields, she rediscovered her love of papel picado, because it reminded her of a happy time and place. She took the craft to a new level by layering sheets of different colored paper, which she cuts through separately, resembling a painting. Olga has received a number of awards for her work, and has taught her techniques in the US, Mexico, and Europe.
There are countless other artists creating papel picado today. Their artwork carries on family traditions and creates new ones – adding special meaning to each cut-paper design.
