| 1988 | Discovery of OFF ART
After many years of experimenting Iren, with the assistance of her husband, creates and introduces a new technique in painting: OFF ART. OFF ATRT defines art in everyday life between feelings and the world of consumption. It sets new criteria in contemporary art, being quite distant from all artistic trends in the past and present. OFF ART cannot be compared with other styles of art as it lays new accents and discovers new dimensions in the understanding of art. |
| 1989-1991 | Works and experiments with OFF ART, inspired by new techniques of drawing and the possibilities provided. Development of more creations, which are full of criticism and the longing for a better world. A number of European awards for outstanding artistic achievement and mastery |
| 1992-2002 | Period of new self definition, influenced by American lifestyle and culture. Amazed by the aura of Hollywood and the southern Californian rhythm, Iren devotes herself to its depiction. |
| 2003 | Phase of renewed invention. Inspired by the book "The Perfume", by Patrick Sueskind and the world of scents and fragrances, Iren takes on a new direction. Perfume bottles and their shapes are important elements in her works in addition to her fascination with the sense of smell itself. With her view of fragrances Iren, in her own unique and creative way, comes closer to our own perceptions
