Bliss was another experimentation of me leaving my creative comfort zone as an artist. To do that I created a piece that addressed positive emotions of happiness and joy, instead of the darker side of psychology that I usually focus on.

It depicts a bright yellow bubble creature smiling and waving, with an also smiling octopus on its head. It's innocent, inoffensive, and even childlike. People who see it smile and can't help but express how cute or pleasant it is.

As an artist this piece makes me question how fine arts is commonly considered only for serious, deep, and complex themes and conceptual meaning. But how, at the same time, art that's not like that brings so much lightness and a breath of fresh air.
