The Kiss - Gustav Klimt painting

The Kiss - Gustav Klimt painting

Just realized Gustav Klimt's (painter of The Kiss) last name includes the word 'milk' spelled backwards. Would I be a true cryptic crossword setter if I did not take this revelation and do something with it? The answer is no, and I will be using this as soon as I start my next grid

Out of curiosity, what other clues did you find to be the chewiest in the grid?

Realised I forgot to include a sample of clues, so here’s some motivation to solve:

Pro-GenAI? No, tech's draining energy out from humans (13)

Fake pigeons are eager to start spying (9)

Evacuate, being stuck in lift after power outage? (6)

Declare spar while concealing blade, cutting first (8)

I wasn’t too keen on this one - feels like it’s missing the actual instruction? Very awkward indicator usage
