Forest Life Cycle, Original Painting

2020

Artist Comments
A pine tree sapling grows at the foot of a much larger tree at the start of winter. "The trees represent old age and youth, family, and the cycle of life," says artist Kira Yustak. "The forest is ageless and always regenerates itself with health and vitality. The snow is beginning to fall and land on the small tree, and you can feel the change of seasons and the passage of time."

About the Artist
Kira Yustak paints fantastical scenes that come from her childhood memories, dreams, and the natural world. Each piece feels like part of a larger narrative of an alternative reality, rendered in a style she describes as comic realism. She feels art must trigger something inside the viewer’s soul.Kira currently lives in New Jersey and finds inspiration in the work of Lowbrow, Folk, and Surrealist artists.
