Dolce far niente

Ink and watercolor, 18x13 cm.

Dolce far niente is the art of enjoying doing nothing without feeling bored. It is a mood of pure enjoyment and happiness—a time to disconnect and savor the simple pleasures of life. This Italian expression is originally associated with summer and the long-awaited holidays. Through the portrait of this Italian woman, the illustration beautifully captures the essence of dolce far niente, reminding us to embrace it whenever we can, not just during vacations!
