Introducing Nico Heins: The Visionary Artist, Designer, and Technologist Behind Prismatica

My kaleidoscopic lanterns illuminate the wonder and mystery woven into the fabric of our world. Through the interplay of laser-cut wood, sacred geometry, and the vibrant spectrum of light, I create portals to awe.

Inspired by the natural beauty of the mountains surrounding my Glenwood Springs studio, I incorporate organic elements – a leaf’s delicate vein, a mountain’s rugged peak – to accentuate the geometric precision of my designs.

These handcrafted lanterns offer more than illumination; they provide a sanctuary of color therapy, casting soft, ambient light that transforms any space into a personal retreat. My self-taught journey has led me to exhibit at events like Mountain Fair and the Carbondale Fashion Show, and my work has found homes across the globe, from Costa Rica to the Netherlands, Israel, and throughout the U.S.

I strive to capture the ephemeral dance of light and shadow, inviting viewers to rediscover the magic in the everyday. Each piece is an invitation to explore perspective, color, and the profound beauty of our interconnected world. Just as a kaleidoscope reveals endless patterns of light, I hope my lanterns inspire a sense of wonder and possibility.

Blessings, Nico
