The STORY

As Europe gets to know their voices through the lights of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, we wanted to get to know the women behind Lelek—talented and inspiring young artists whose name has echoed strongly across both the Croatian and European scene in recent months. With their song “Andromeda,” they have already represented Croatia in a way that goes far beyond competition—as a country of strong women, heritage, and courage.

It may have started with music, but this story reaches far beyond those boundaries. Through their message, they encourage new generations to take pride in their roots, to stand firmly in their faith, and to remember the importance of fighting for human dignity. They have honored the memory of their people’s history, the Croatian identity, and the resilience of the women from whom the pride and courage of new generations were born. They are the voice of those who are too often unheard—in the fight against injustice, for freedom, and for the right to one’s own identity.

At Human Voice, we believe their story deserves to be heard louder—as a tribute to the past, but also as a powerful inspiration for the future. That is why we want to share this story as a reminder that no woman should ever again have to live in fear, silence, or injustice.

In art, and likewise in the world of interior design, encounters between shared authorial visions are rare. Each artist experiences their work as a personal story, a unique expression, and an intimate process. Yet few understand that by sharing creativity, one does not lose their identity — rather, it becomes further strengthened.

It was precisely this philosophy that guided Josipa Maras and Mateja Kovač, two remarkable artists who decided to merge their authentic creative signatures into a new wallpaper collection – The Carousel of Life. Each with her own distinctive style, yet united by a shared passion.

We managed to catch them in the very final stage of their first joint collaboration and find out how these two inspiring women have enriched the Croatian art scene.

Their story isn’t just about lavish weddings, breathtaking venues, or seamless logistics. It’s a story of courage—the decision to leave the safety of the known, trusting one’s own vision, and spend over a decade building a reputation that now resonates far beyond Croatia’s borders.

For more than ten years, Yes I Du has been crafting aesthetically refined, experience-driven destination weddings, primarily for international clients who choose Croatia as the stage for their most pivotal life moments. Today, the brand is synonymous with trust, expertise, and peace of mind. Their signature is woven into every detail: the harmonious connection between space, emotion and the story of the couple, a high-caliber aesthetic, and a sense of effortless ease that carries clients from the first consultation to the final dance.

The brand was built on a foundation of deep industry knowledge, an empathetic approach, and a sophisticated understanding of diverse cultures, traditions, and expectations. Their strength lies in the ability to transform every wedding into a personal, authentic story without ever losing control or clarity in the process. This blend of professionalism and empathy has made them one of the most respected names in the region’s luxury wedding industry. We sat down with the founders of Yes I Du—Martina Pavleković and Maja Zvono—to discuss the luxury destination wedding market, the art of creating experiences that transcend the mere form of luxury, and the personal drive for creativity and freedom that give rise to a brand now standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the world’s leading wedding agencies.

This family story captivated us instantly—not just because of the commercial success or the brand’s prominence, but because of the palpable sense of peace and warmth these people exude. It is a narrative rooted in foundational family values: courage, faith, and unity. It is a chronicle of expertise cultivated over decades, the daring choice to forge an independent path, and the unwavering belief that quality and trust will always find their place in the market.

Through this inspiring story, we explore how dreams, bravery, and an unshakeable faith in a singular vision became the bedrock of their business success.
