CALENDRIER DE L’AVENT

This text is best read with music, with the music with which I have written it:

ABOUT TIME

Last night at 04:28 H was the winter solstice. Today there is a star shower. At the same time that time takes away from you, it gives you gifts: emotions, experiences, memories, maturity... With time, time makes you enjoy it more and you want, at times, for it to stop.

THE ADVENT CALENDAR

The advent calendar is an object with numbers behind which there is a sweet or a gift. There are many types. I myself drew an advent calendar for Direct Wine Inc. in which behind each little door there was a bottle of wine.

SPECIAL TIME, SPECIAL WAY

This year I am enjoying the time in a special way, I like to be present in the present. It may be a mix between the fact that I am living a good moment and that I have grown older. Who knows. Anyway, no matter how much time passes, I will continue to feel like that child who searches the house for presents while still believing in Santa Claus and the Three Wise Men. 

Christmas campaign for Indigo (@indigo). The collection has many products but this hotel illustration was originally an advent calendar that ultimately didn't happen. I included it on my personal Instagram as part of my 2023 calendar. Here bellow you can see the continuation mixed with my personal work. LINK TO THE PROJECT
