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..."

A selection from paintings of Istvan Cene gal for the last 25 years
My name is Cene gál István. I am a Hungarian artist. I was born in Salgotarjan, Hungary in 1969.
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.
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...
