Maluhia Print

Created for the Tony Mapu Memorial Foundation.

"Maluhia" is a captivating watercolor that portrays the serene beauty of a tranquil golf course. Painted by Terrinye, a 1981 Southeast Polk High School graduate and friend of Tony, this piece invites viewers to experience a peaceful retreat where calm and harmony prevail. Through soft, flowing brushstrokes and a gentle color palette, the painting embodies the essence of the Hawaiian word maluhia, meaning peaceful. However, subtly woven into the scene is a hint of the course's challenge—a suggestion of the terrain's intriguing features that invite contemplation and engagement. As viewers immerse themselves in the artwork, they may find both tranquility and a touch of complexity, enhancing their overall appreciation of the scene.
