Card No. 2620 | Guiding Star | Florin Anghel

Follow the star this Christmas. Guiding Star shows the three wise men crossing the desert by night on camelback, gifts in hand, as a bright star leads them towards the glowing stable in Bethlehem. Bold outlines and cool midnight blues give the age-old journey a fresh, almost stained-glass feel.

A meaningful choice for family, friends and church communities, and a lovely way to share the heart of the Christmas story. Blank inside for your own message, with envelope included. $2.55 each, with bulk discounts available and the option to have your cards personalised.

Born in Bucharest, Romania, in 1981, Florin Anghel sustained a spinal cord injury in 2004 that left him tetraplegic. During his rehabilitation in Spain, first in Toledo and then at a care centre in Leganés near Madrid, he joined painting workshops and began working in oils, holding the brush in his mouth.

Determined and steadily improving, Florin developed a strong, realistic style defined by vivid contrasts of light and colour. Nature is his great theme, particularly people and wild animals, and his work has featured in painting competitions and exhibitions across Spain.

Every card is reproduced from an original painting by a mouth or foot painting artist. Your purchase supports their creative work and independent livelihood. Self-help, not charity.
