About Christmas Collection
This Christmas collection is inspired by the beloved Venezuelan carol “Niño Criollo.”
I imagined the song reinterpreted through dogs — a tender Nativity scene where the Virgin is a Dachshund, Saint Joseph a German Shepherd, and baby Jesus an adorable Dachshund puppy.
The original song wonders what the Baby Jesus would be like if his parents were Venezuelan. In this playful version, I brought that same spirit to life — imagining how the story might look in a world of dogs, full of warmth, devotion, and Christmas joy.

About Me
Hi there—I'm Maria, a photographer, illustrator, and graphic designer with a profound love for all things visual.
My passions span children's book illustrations, street photography, fine art and watercolours. With a background in fine art, where drawing was my favorite subject, I strive to create illustrations that bring joy and make people feel valued. I especially enjoy crafting custom-made illustrations that resonate personally with each client.
