A red-tailed hawk soars high above, while the lake mirrors the mountains and blue sky. Artist Kira Yustak was inspired by watching these birds glide effortlessly across landscapes, embodying a sense of freedom. Their skillful flight and search over the land evoke an uplifting, spiritual experience.
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.

Emil captures it just as it launches a successful attack—painting the plumage with fine detailed brushwork and intense colors against a pure white background. The piece embodies the essence of this powerful raptor.
