Martine Jacobs - Roma

Roma — StampArt Remake 1998/2026 — Martine Jacobs Roma is a 2026 remake of a digital work from the StampArt series, which the Dutch artist Martine Jacobs (Amsterdam, 1956) started in 1998. In this composition, two stylized human figures are surrounded by geometric shapes, layered planes, and warm earth tones. The stamp shape and the inscription POST ROMA refer to the visual language of classic stamps, reinterpreted through digital image construction and a contemporary geometric style. With this remake, Jacobs brings her digital work from 1998 back to life and connects her early digital imagery practice with her current artistic work from 2026.
