Product Description:
A verse of the Christmas carol best known to all says in one of its translations "Among the stars that spread their light, beautifully announcing the baby Jesus, shines the star of Peace." The star, the comet that announced the path to the Magi, is a symbol of peace and love. The scene of the Holy Family welcoming love reminds us that in the darkest night there are stars and that the comet showed that the infinite light had arrived to be among us forever.
Designer Raquel Fariñas:
Raquel Fariñas was born in Madrid in 1964. Since she was a child, she knew that she wanted to be an artist so she began to train in painting and drawing at the age of 12. Since then, she has not stopped, on the one hand, to seek and scan the harmony and beauty of what surrounds her, and on the other, to tell and depict stories, her own and others, through drawing and painting.
Holding a PhD in Fine Arts, an Illustrator, a Textile and Surface Designer, an Art Therapist, a High School teacher, and an Art Therapy Professor, Raquel has exhibited her work in galleries in Spain, France, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Monte Carlo, Germany, USA and Switzerland since 1991. She has illustrated books for adults and children and brought about creations on various types of surfaces such as ceramics and carpets. From 1987 to 2022, she taught Art to teenagers in secondary school, so they could use visual language in their personal expression and so that she could transmit her passion for art to them. Since 2002, she has therapeutically supported clients through art, meeting their needs.
When a sheet of 8 stamps was issued in 2006 from illustrations of a children's book, she believed that her images would reach places she never had imagined, and many more people than those who went to the galleries where she exhibited. At that time she also grew a desire to study textile and surface design, so that her images could take shape in different formats.
