When she isn't depicting [undead dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monster-high-skullector-elvira) living out their lives in ghoulish style, Kira Shaimanova turns her creative vision towards slightly more every day subject matter.

I would be remiss, however, if I were to say that Kira Shaimanova's artworks which don't involve the undead were any less bizarre or creepy. In fact, each of these Kira Shaimanova pieces is just as unsettling and unusual as any of her more [beyond-the-grave](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyber-zombie) oriented fare. From celebrities to awkward moments, Kira is a fantastic example of how a skilled artist can subtly twist an intuitively [sweet-hearted medium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-for-good) in order to create an altogether captivating clash of context.

Check out this gallery of some of her latest works to see why Kira Shaimanova is one artist that stands in a league all her own.
