Description

Fake Happiness

A green wine bottle rests on an open hand, its glass covered in red lipstick kisses. More kisses float across the soft lilac background, turning a simple still life into a playful and slightly ironic comment on the idea of happiness.

The lipstick kisses and the hand in the work are the artist’s own. The piece was created in March 2023 in a psychedelic art style.
