It was visits to US in her youth, among other things, that additionally informed her affinity towards pop art.[8]Active from the early 1990s (first exhibition took place in 1990 in Las Vegas), Kazazi\u0107 started her first studio in 1994, in Ljubljana.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4She holds a degree in fine arts, which she got at Arthouse \u2013 an art school in Ljubljana, in 2003.[9]In her student days, she shared a studio (dubbed M. I. K. S.) with fellow artist and partner at the time, Matja\u017e Stra\u017ear.After her breakthrough series Shoes (\u010cevlji, 2001\u20132009), Kazazi\u0107 primarily focuses on (and is mostly known by) extensive series of intimate portraits of friends (notably Portraits of Time), acquaintances, pop culture figures or even fictional characters (Pippi Longstocking being just one of them).She mainly chooses independent ways of advancing her career as an artist, and is self-managed, relying on word of mouth and \u2013 with expansion of internet \u2013 presence on social networks rather than on any form of institutional support.Style and influences[edit]Kazazi\u0107 mainly works in the tradition of pop art. Her style has changed over time, but since around 2010, she established her trademark use of white space and vivid colors that at times are bordering on psychedelic art. Her art is often an open celebration of eroticism.[10] Although she mainly keeps her work from being overtly political, there are often strong feminist messages present.[11]She mainly utilizes mixed technique in her work, combining watercolor, drawing and collage.She cited Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg and a wide variety of artists and pop culture figures as her personal influences.[12]Exhibitions[edit]Kazazi\u0107’s work has been on display in Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia, Austria, Italy and US.[13]References[edit]^ “Biography- Irena Kazazic Portfolio Website”.^ Pallazzo Cappello Venexia Ex Convento dei Servi di Maria, Venice, 2005- Irena Kazazic Portfolio Website | http:\/\/www.irenakazazic.com\/venice-05.html^ The Arthouse Bluebird Gallery, Whittier, California, 2006- Irena Kazazic Portfolio Website | http:\/\/www.irenakazazic.com\/california-2006.html^ Marko Dabeti\u0107, In Search of Finer Side of Pop: Art of Irena Kazazi\u0107, Ljubljana 2020, ISBN 978-961-07-0143-9^ Uli\u010dni katalog del za leto 2015 | https:\/\/govorise.metropolitan.si\/zanimivosti\/ulicni-katalog-del-za-leto-2015\/^ “\u010clani”.^ “Kazazi\u0107 Irena – Galerija in dra\u017ebena hi\u0161a SLOART”.
