What is the dictionary form of "bliska" in "z bliska".
What is the dictionary form of "bliska" in the following sentence?

Obserwowałem ich z bliska.

As I know, "z" is followed by genitive or instrumental case noun.
If "bliska" is a genitive case, there must be a word like "blisk" or "blisko".
I cannot find a word "blisk" in dictionary.
I can find a word "blisko". But it is an adverb.
By any chance, can "blisko" be a noun?
