Gianni Kazakis (b. 1998) is an interdisciplinary artist whose work examines the color experience as it relates to human defined consciousness through the lens of color psychology. Most of his work remains untitled, identified only by unique serial numbers to avoid interpretive bias so the viewer encounters them without guided interpretation. He studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze (Florence State Academy of Fine Arts) in Italy on a fully funded scholarship.

Kazakis creates work that exist solely for the purpose of experience. He moves outside standard

"art world" frameworks, allowing the work to exist on its own terms rather than being defined by authorship. Many of his installations are often left behind after exhibitions or interventions, becoming part of the space and the moment rather than being retrieved by the artist.
