 |  | Biography |  | My name is Cene gal Istvan. I am a Hungarian artist. I was born in Salgotarjan, Hungary in 1969. 
I currently live very happily in Cered with my wife and two sons. 
I studied art history taught by Professor Dr. Lajos Vegvary at the Miskolc Association of Art. 
DOTE. EU - college degree and graduated with a MBE from Debrecen University. |  |  |  | Statement |  | 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... |  |  |  | Exhibitions |  | I have had more than 30 individual exhibitions including:
