Hatem El Mekki [1st Part (1957/1960) ]

[Tunisia] (b 1918/d 2003)

Hatem El Mekki  was born in Jakarta, Indonesia..his family ( Tunisian father and Indonesian Mother) traveled to Tunisia when he was 6 years old.. his Designing talent was soon revealed and marked his life as a student due to the Studentships he won at the Tunis Lyceum and later in France, with travels to Paris and Lyon where he acquainted himself with some of the Ideas of the contemporary Artistic currents....El Mekki's Art feeds itself  with a mix of his Asian heritage and North African elements and this particularity of his work allowed him to conquer a place in the European Art market... But , his work , for the Common Tunisian Citizen, will always be linked to the design of Bank Notes and specially of Postage stamps...
