Art is something where people differ in opinions. In fact, even among art lovers, arguments are still commonplace as to what art actually means. When it comes to artworks, a lot of people argue about the interpretation of the artwork and come up with theories and evidence to show what the artist actually meant.

But to Criss Bellini, a Swedish artist, it doesn't really matter what the painting is about. What matters most is how the painting is interpreted by someone who looks at it. This is precisely one of the biggest reasons why Criss has become a world-famous artist.

The Story of Criss Bellini's Unique Art Pieces

The story of Criss Bellini (@crissbelliniart) rising to fame is something out of a fairytale. He has not been a professional painter and only had a deep interest in art. Yet, his popularity has continued to grow ever since he became known through his unique artworks. What makes him a well-known artist is the addition of unique elements in his art pieces, like the balaclava.

What is the balaclava?

If you ever speak to a Criss Bellini fan, you will without any doubt notice their mentions of artworks with masks on. This mask is a balaclava. It's a type of mask that covers the entire face except for the eyes, and it is typically in black color. This is a mask that's commonly worn by individuals who do not want to show their identity to the world. Criss uses the mask on the characters in his artworks.

What does the mask symbolize?

For Criss and most of his fans, the mask represents confidentiality and anonymity. This kind of symbolism is represented in a way that gives off a confident vibe in one's identity. Although hidden, the people with masks in the painting are showing off their freedom in both their true self and their separation from the world.

What Criss hopes to achieve in these masks is true freedom, true identity, and preservation of people's rights to the truth. However, Criss wants all viewers of his art to interpret his paintings their own way, whether it is the mask or the whole painting in itself. His joy actually comes from when an art lover has personal insights into what he has painted that inspires them to explore their own artistic self.

Criss Bellini's hopes for all art lovers

One of the many reasons why Criss Bellini is so popular and so quickly is because there are many unique traits about his art. One that is worth mentioning is his personal choice to only ever sell 250 pieces of each art he creates. Once the art is sold out, he never produces the same anymore. As such, his art is sought after by art enthusiasts since each piece is rare and in limited supply.

In addition, Criss desires all of his artwork to be accessible by everyone. So not only are they in limited supply, but they are also moderately priced. Regardless of how unique the piece is, it will always be affordable. After all, Criss Bellini's goal is to not just create beautiful art but also to make it affordable for art enthusiasts.

Criss has a YouTube Channel and Facebook page where art lovers can check his artworks and connect with him.
