Oil paintings on canvas.
I am extremely fond of beauty and harmony, and I need it in my life like salt. Their endless source is especially nature, which can constantly shape such perfect creations that I cannot resist the desire to try to capture at least some of them on canvas.
I really like to paint blossoming tree branches and flowers in the meadow. But also juicy bunches of grapes, which tempt people to bite into them and let themselves be intoxicated by their sweet juice.
I also find inspiration on my vacations by the sea - for example, paintings with glasses in which the sea surface and rocks are reflected.
In some things, I am a self-indulgent - for example, when drinking coffee. This is the inspiration for my coffee still lifes.
But sometimes other, perhaps seemingly unimportant things or objects catch my attention. But sometimes the beauty or the story is hidden in them...

A woman has always been and will certainly continue to be an important inspiration in my work. I am attracted to portray on the screen the seductive beauty of a woman's body and face and the infinite depth of a woman's soul in such a way that they captivate the viewer so much that he wants to touch her, caress her, say a few words to her...

Three Taboo love paintings form a free series. In different poses, they depict the same two young women who are united by mutual love. Many people still have prejudices in this direction and taboo this topic.
With these paintings, I wanted to express the purity of the love of these two women, which the viewer perceives despite the fact that the naked bodies and poses of the women have at the same time a subtle erotic touch.
Each painting can be purchased separately, but also as a diptych or triptych.

Women from behind, selection from paintings by Istvan Cene gal.
Istvan says:
"A woman has always been and will certainly continue to be an important inspiration in my work.
Perhaps I am most attracted to paint the beauty of the female body from behind. At least I perceive a woman painted from behind as more mysterious, seductive, alluring, more erotic than when I paint her from the front.
The pose from behind teases and stimulates the male fantasy. The viewer tries to imagine her face, which he cannot see, and from the woman's pose he intuitively feels some of the characteristics and givens of the unknown woman, he even often feels the infinite depth of the woman's soul. At least that's what visitors to exhibitions and social networks often tell me or write...
I try to paint a woman in such a way that the viewer is captivated so much that he wants to touch her, caress her, hug her, whisper a few words in her ear..."

Article
When painting, my primary goal is to achieve reality and the impression of an enigmatic feeling.
An idea and it's image in a picture might be far from reality, but the signs of my style are not.
I do believe that the aim of my art is to depict abstract thoughts in a form of realism and to search for harmony; which is fundamental to life and the main embodiment of beauty in my pictures.
I have been painting a series of pictures, cycles from the very beginning. This is the reason: an impression takes it's final, nearly complete form throughout many versions.
How enigmatic our past behind us is, and how mysterious the future is. In the quasi-reality of the present, a painter can have only one goal... to make individuality be victorious over everyday life...
