Bornholm Winter Montage Backlit A2

The Colours of Bornholm Winter Montage Backlit Acrylic A2 + Stories

Make a statement with this Limited Edition Backlit PhotoArt that glows with vibrant, atmospheric colour in your home. This uplifting, colourful PhotoArt montage of Bornholm in Winter by the artist Mandy Stacey captures the magic of the Danish island in all its crisp, wintry beauty. And behind every little picture is a story…

Here's what Mandy Stacey has to say about her Backlit PhotoArt:

"Backlits are my preferred format for my PhotoArt, because it most closely resembles what I see. With my colour synesthesia and heightened senses, I view the world around me in very bright colours, that stimulate my senses and fill me with joy. And when my art is seen on a digital screen or backlit it really brings it to life, adding vibrancy to the colours. I just wish they were easier to photograph... trust me they look even better in real life."

Immerse yourself in the different elements of the Winter Backlit PhotoArt:

• The 'Hero Pictures' of Bornholm’s favourite places: Sunset at Sømarken; Windmills near Hasle; Snogebæk Bay; Sunset Landscape, Poulsker; Smokeries at Nørresand Harbour.
• The 'Colour Samples' of little photo images of beautiful Bornholm from Mandy Stacey’s winter colour palette.
• The 'Paint Samples' of the famous Bornholm artist Oluf Høst including the brush strokes of his winter colours.
• The little stories about each picture. Sometimes informative, sometimes inspiring, always interesting - they’ll tell you where they were taken and why. Sent as a print-out with your Backlit PhotoArt.

The different coloured images all come together in a harmonious composition, evoking the cool, crisp blues of a Bornholm winter, warmed by the oranges of the spectacular sunsets. 

There's no doubt it will make you want to be there, to discover it for yourself!

FACTFILE:

• 'The Winter Montage' is part of Mandy Stacey’s PhotoArt Series 'The Colours Of Bornholm: In All Four Seasons' which is on display in her Gallery 'The House Of Many Colours' in Allinge.
• This is what Mandy Stacey has to say about the original exhibition:

“I fell in love with Bornholm in the summer of 2022. It was easy. The vibrant colours, the breath-taking beauty of the nature, the ageless charm of the place. And then I discovered the famous artist Oluf Høst’s paintings of Bornholm, capturing the same scenes in the same bright colours, and it inspired me to create a PhotoArt Series celebrating the colours of Bornholm in all four seasons.”

• The work was inspired by the Bornholm artist Oluf Høst (1884-1966), famous for his bold, colourful paintings. The 'Paint Samples' are from his painting: “The Dying of a Winter's Day”, Winter 1943.
• Her interest in Oluf Høst was rewarded with an exhibition in 2023 at the Oluf Høst Museum using her PhotoArt to tell the fascinating story of the artist’s son Ole W. Høst who tragically died in WW2.
• Mandy Stacey is an English artist now living in Allinge on Bornholm with her Danish husband and business partner Curt Stavis. As well as creating her PhotoArt, they both have a company Bornholm365 to develop business and tourism on the island all year round.
