The Colours of Bornholm Spring Montage Backlit Acrylic A2 + Stories

Bring the beauty of Bornholm in Spring into your home every day with this Limited Edition Backlit Acrylic by Mandy Stacey. An uplifting, colourful PhotoArt montage that glows with light - as a dimmable light source in your home - and captures the magic of the Danish island in all its fresh springtime 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."

Relax in front of the glowing Backlit PhotoArt and enjoy all the various details: 

• The 'Hero Pictures' of Bornholm’s favourite places: Stavehøl Waterfall; Melsted Beach; Beech Wood in May, Hammeren; Østerlars Church; Hammershus Castle Ruin.

FACTFILE:

• The Spring 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, Bornholm.
• This is what Mandy Stacey said about the original exhibition artwork:

“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 expressive colourful paintings. The paint samples are from his painting: “View of Gudhjem from Bokul”, Spring 1922.
• Her interest in Oluf Høst was rewarded with an exhibition in The Oluf Høst Museum in 2023 using her PhotoArt to tell the fascinating story of the artist’s son Ole W. Høst who tragically died in World War Two.
• 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 & tourism on the island all year round.
