Paris Advent Calendar by Nick Sellek

This is an advent calendar like no other.

On the outside, it appears to be a silent, snowy Paris December day with the snow covered Parisian rooftops, cafes and streets,

But the wintery scene hides a contemporary Christmas narrative. Open up the building facades, lift up a roof and open the windows to find magical, festive interiors and happenings.

Lightly dusted with glitter, mounted on card, measuring 41cm x 29.5cm, it comes in a cellophane bag and with an envelope.

Nick Sellek is a freelance artist and model-maker living in London.

His Advent Calendars and Christmas cards were developed over a few years from Nick's love of Christmas. Both contemporary and traditional, they combine stark cityscapes, architecture and interiors with the magical warmth of Christmas.
