2026Love for Landscape - Sheetlets

PostNL will issue the Love for Landscape framed stamp sheet on May 8, 2026. The stamp sheet features 10 photos by Saskia Boelsums depicting Dutch landscapes. Boelsums: ‘In my pre-selection, I chose clear images, given the small size of the stamps.’

Saskia Boelsums trained as a visual artist and dedicated herself to landscape photography about ten years ago. ‘I don’t call myself a photographer, but a visual artist with a camera. Sometimes I spend months editing my photos. I really do that at the pixel level. I certainly record what I saw, but above all, I want to convey the feeling I had at the moment I took the photo. For example, how beautiful the summer evening was, how cold it was, or how the strong wind felt. If the brilliant sunlight I saw isn't clear enough in the photo, I lighten the blade of grass on the right side, for instance, blade by blade.’ And if that doesn't turn out to work well, I make the blades of grass on the other side slightly darker instead, continuing until it is exactly as I experienced it. My painting background comes in handy for that.’
