Nikko Blue, Original Painting

2024

Artist Comments
Large clusters of hydrangeas burst with vibrant blue hues, while a delicate butterfly perches on top, infusing the scene with life and lightness. Artist Kira Yustak notes that walking into her garden during the summer, surrounded by soft, cooling petals, provides a calming and peaceful experience—much like this composition.

About the Artist
Artist Kira Yustak creates fantastical scenes inspired by childhood memories, dreams, and the natural world. Each piece feels like a fragment of a larger narrative, set in an alternate reality, rendered in a style she describes as comic realism. “I am in awe of the natural forces beyond our control, always striving to capture the wild beauty found in the world,” shares Kira. Residing in New Jersey, she finds influence in the works of lowbrow, folk, and surrealist artists. Kira works in her cozy home studio, a space that sits at the heart of her creative process. When she's not painting, she enjoys spending time with her son, gardening, and visiting the beach.
