the joy residency
Original art, living where people need it most.
Original Isa Zapata painting on view at The Joy Residency at Missoni Baia
Joy and beauty belong in the rooms where people are already living their lives, not only in galleries. A waiting room where someone sits worried about an animal they love. A quiet space where someone comes to recover. A hotel lobby where travelers arrive tired and far from home. The Joy Residency places my original paintings in those rooms, as proof that beauty is present in every kind of moment.
