Block of 4 stamps - Nature - Cetaceans

The theme of the nature series is cetaceans in 2026. Four cetaceans are featured: the humpback whale, the killer whale, the beluga whale and the sperm whale. In this work on the theme of cetaceans, the artist, who specializes in visual didactics and popularization for young people, uses realistic illustration to depict the anatomy of these animals in their natural environment. Her subtle use of light brings out the beauty and immensity of the marine world, highlighting the cetaceans that move between the surface and the depths of the water column.
