About the Artist

Kirah (b.1998) is a self-taught portrait artist residing in Southern California. 

Kirah  primarily works with oil paints as her preferred medium but is versed with pencils and digital art as well. With no formal training, she constantly seeks ways to learn and expand her technique.

 Kirah's collection of original work is a blend of the hyperreal and the surreal, taking inspiration from as well as seeking to honor and modernize Baroque era works. She aims to incorporate subtle allegories, from mental health to religious themes, using mythological and sometimes unsettling imagery.

As well as a love for creating art, she also works as a ballet teacher and adores her six animals whose fur you can be sure to find as a signature plastered to all her work.
