Happy Times

Happy Times

Acrylic on canvas, 60 × 80 cm
Nastassia Arais - Artist and Painting Instructor at IZO Art Studio

“Happy Times” portrays a golf course bathed in the golden light of a summer evening. A tanned woman watches as a golfer prepares to take his shot. The tension of the moment is heightened by vivid, idealized colors that lend the scene a dreamlike, almost cinematic quality.

The figures’ mid-20th-century attire adds a sense of nostalgia - a mirage of memory that feels both distant and familiar.
The painting asks: does happiness live in the present, or do we find it only within our recollections of the past?

Acrylic on canvas; a fusion of impressionism and retro aesthetics, enhanced by modern color expressiveness. The interplay of light and shadow creates a poetic, nostalgic mood.
Perfect for refined, light-filled interiors - living rooms, art salons, boutique hotels, or summer residences where warmth and elegance are appreciated.

✨ Created as a single original piece - a unique fusion of art and sport that transforms a moment of the game into an artistic vision.
