BLISS OF THE SOUL (ULTIMATE SATISFACTION OF THE SOUL) As an artist I desire to bring poetic beauty into what I create. So I attempt to express spirituality of human beings and their nature rather than materialism. As ordinary human beings we are in search of happiness therefore, modern man as a victim of the consumer society attempts to gather each and everything which creates capitalism and thereby ultimately lose their happiness. But the real bliss of our mind is not depending on materialistic things but the renunciation of the material world. This time I depict the real bliss of the soul which emerges in our mind as a result of sacrificing materialism and utilizing amazing colours on canvas. VIKUM BANDARA APRIL 2018
