Spanish postal service Correos has issued a stamp honouring *Igni*, the immersive installation by Andorran artist Joan Xandri, which appeared in the *Transitori* exhibition at the government's exhibition hall in 2025.
The €3 stamp, produced in a limited run of 44,000 copies, uses offset printing on coated, gummed and phosphorescent paper. Measuring 57.6 by 40.9 mm, it features a close-up of the artwork's red rice paper strips, capturing the installation's striking visual intensity and enveloping quality in a compact design.
Xandri's large-scale piece employs Chinese ink on rice paper strips extending up to three metres high.
