Original artwork description:

Step into the sun-drenched rooftops of Porto with Porto Rooftop Serenade, a romantic mixed-media painting that captures the soul of Portugal’s beloved city. The scene reveals a tapestry of red-tiled roofs, ancient churches, and the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge fading into the dreamy mist of the Douro River. But the true heartbeat of this artwork lies in the mural on the foreground wall — a whimsical, almost secret story that invites the viewer to imagine love, memory, and quiet rebellion written across time.

Created with watercolor and ink, this artwork merges architectural detail with a poetic mood. The rich reds and blues, softened by morning haze, create an atmosphere both nostalgic and uplifting — a gentle celebration of urban beauty and artistic soul.

Why buy this piece?
This painting is ideal for those who love travel, hidden cityscapes, and stories tucked into quiet corners. It adds warmth and sophistication to interiors — perfect for modern lofts, reading nooks, or spaces filled with books and music. It makes a meaningful gift for lovers of Portugal, architecture, or anyone who dreams of walking through old European streets bathed in sunlight and story.

The artwork is made on watercolour paper 300 gsm with deckle edges and empty border.
