Mandranova illustrated postcards

  • Carolyn Rea

Mandranova is a family-owned olive farm retreat in Sicily. An inspiring environment for it’s welcoming, relaxed atmosphere, nurturing food and exquisite olive oil, all created with love, care and attention. With beautiful sun-soaked views, it provided the perfect subject for a series of illustrated postcards showing 3 of the scenes that made the most impact on me, for their reflection of the simplicity and rustic charm of the hotel’s setting. Designed for the retreat as a complimentary gift for guests, the focus of the cards was the strong colour palette and composition for greatest impact, allowing the viewer to drift into the warmth of the Sicilian countryside.
