Weathered charm in soft pastel shades
In Rovinj's old streets, your eye is always drawn to details that tell of a rich past. These turquoise wooden shutters framed by weathered stones are a great example. The wood shows the traces of time and sea: chipped paint, small cracks and a patina that only comes with age.
What touched me about this image is the harmony between colour and texture. The fresh turquoise contrasts subtly with the warm sand tones of the wall, making the shutters almost seem to breathe. This kind of detail is what makes Rovinj so unique: every door, every window has its own story. By softly editing the colours, I wanted to emphasise the sense of stillness and Mediterranean simplicity.
This work brings a touch of nostalgia and tranquillity to any interior. It fits beautifully in a minimalist space, where it acts as an eye-catcher, but also in a warm, atmospheric interior where weathered materials and natural tones come together. For those who have visited Rovinj, this image evokes memories; for those who have not yet been there, it is an invitation to be transported to the magic of the Adriatic coast.
