About the artwork

Weathered, empty merry-go-round with yellowed ochre, magenta and turquoise roof pieces on a misty beach; calm sea and grey sky in the background - melancholic, painterly fine art photography.

"Carousel of Tides and Forgotten Summer" is an atmospheric fine art photo print that captures the quiet poetry of an abandoned merry-go-round on the beach. The image combines weathered, vintage colours - ochre, magenta and turquoise - with a soft, misty coastal sky, leaving nostalgia and bygone summer days palpable.

The composition emphasises the solitude of the object against the vast sea, creating a picturesque, almost cinematic atmosphere. This print is perfect for those who love melancholic coastal photography and narrative-driven interior art.

Timeless appeal: nostalgic themes remain popular and suit various interior styles.
Conversation starter: the combination of desolation and festivity invites interpretation and conversation.
Fits warm and cool interiors due to the combined palette of ochre and turquoise.
