ADVENT CALENDARS
Collection of the various Advent Calendars projects I've created during the past years
Every year there are variations and surprises


Tiny Advent Calendar 2023
The tradition of the Advent Calendar in my family has been going on for several generations. There has been the classic 'a chocolate a day', there has been a poem a day, there has been games to play with the family, etc.
A few years ago I took over this chain and started the "one drawing and one poem" per day Calendar.
These drawings, which I used to share with my family, began to be shared with you so that you could have a December full of drawings, poems, and a little magic in the mix.
Every year there are variations and surprises.
In 2023, we had a Tiny Calendar Book with 25 pages. The little book is 6cm x 6cm. Each page had a different watercolour painting and when it was released on the social media platforms there was a poem for each tiny drawing.
The last past years the Advent Calendars illustrations were sold, one year later, in 24 postcard formats so you could send them to your beloved ones.
With this 2023's new format creation I'm still trying to figure out if I could make Tiny Book Calendars print reproductions for you.
I wish you a trip as gold and special as it is for me.

One year later (in October) the 24 illustrations are sold in postcard's format so you can send them to your beloved ones.
I wish you a trip as bright and special as it is for me.

Muka's Advent Calendar
A special collaboration with Muka, a vegan cheese brand, to create the design for a unique Advent Calendar.
Inspired by the concepts of unity, tradition, and warmth, I used watercolor, drawing, and ink to craft illustrations that capture the magic of the holiday season.
It was an honor to help bring Muka’s dream to life and see my artwork paired with their delightful vegan cheeses.
The color palette for the illustrations reflects Muka’s brand colors, creating a harmonious connection with their visual identity. Each element in the artwork references the cheeses hidden behind each window, such as Brito, Cajuberto, Veden, and other delightful surprises.
Personal note:
This project was especially meaningful because it allowed me to combine my passion for illustration with the emotional significance of the Advent season, all while collaborating with a brand I deeply admire.

In 2021, in the end of the 24 illustrations release, you could recognize a christmas tree (like a puzzle).
