style=\"font-size:15px\">My painting emerges from the layers of my inner reality. It is a diary of feelings and experiences. Through a variety of motifs, I seek the universal: symbols of the source, life, and fertility, as well as introspection and the connection between the real and the imaginary, consciousness and dreams.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">I believe that painting is not a finished answer but a space of possibilities. The process is spontaneous and energetic, without corrections or embellishments. I believe authenticity is found in expression, and imperfections are at the essence of art. They make it real, fragile, and relatable. They also bring surprise and revelation. Colour and surface serve as expressions of fidelity to the inner world. Thick layers, raw textures, and unpredictable forms shape the emotional landscape of the painting.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">Through my work, I aim to reveal the hidden and the unexpected, the edge of control, and the intuition of revelation. I want to open a space for introspection, reflection, and recognition of the viewer\u2019s own inner images. These are the images that lie beneath the surface of the present moment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cinematographic Series \/ 2021 &#8211; present<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">The Cinematographic Series marks a new cycle of works, begun at the end of 2021 and still in progress. Through these achromatic paintings, I am developing a unique pictorial system, exploring minimalistic and gentle approaches to raw linen. Technique unfolds in a personal, intimate, and unexpected way, guided by the material. I work in mixed media, combining aerosol, oil, resins, glues, fillers, and other materials that expand the surface\u2019s language and anchor the paint to the porous linen.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The series investigates visually reduced classical still-life motifs and everyday interior projections: a folded drapery, a side-lit canvas, or distant reflections and shadows of plants in jars. By reducing descriptive elements and employing negative space, these motifs shift between abstract minimal forms and recognizable figurative presence.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">Light and shadow are not optical phenomena but material inventions. Tactile impasto strokes, dense textures, and layered shapes are applied by hand, with no possibility of repair. Drapery becomes a rhythm of folds, shadows stretch into long silhouettes, and objects dissolve into overexposed fragments. Each painting explores the fragile threshold between figuration and abstraction, as a one-take act, raw and unrepeatable.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Critical Receptions :<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:24% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"587\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/P1010007b.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2809 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/P1010007b.webp 587w, https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/P1010007b-300x245.webp 300w, https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/P1010007b-15x12.webp 15w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 587px) 100vw, 587px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solo Exhibition, 2005<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Artists:<\/strong> Vjeran \u010cengi\u0107, Branka Radoni\u0107 and Gordan Ore\u0161i\u0107<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Venue:<\/strong> Gallery of the INA Cultural and Arts Association and INA Club, Gajeva 46, Zagreb, Croatia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Exhibition dates:<\/strong> 8\u201326 April 2005<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Catalogue foreword:<\/strong> Stanko \u0160poljari\u0107<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Catalogue design:<\/strong> Branka Radoni\u0107 and Vjeran \u010cengi\u0107<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:24% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2005_Exhibition_Catalogue-723x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2835 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2005_Exhibition_Catalogue-723x1024.webp 723w, https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2005_Exhibition_Catalogue-212x300.webp 212w, https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2005_Exhibition_Catalogue-768x1087.webp 768w, https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2005_Exhibition_Catalogue-8x12.webp 8w, https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2005_Exhibition_Catalogue-600x849.webp 600w, https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2005_Exhibition_Catalogue.webp 1054w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Critical Reception<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn the great diversity of the contemporary art scene, artists who remain committed to traditional media, such as easel painting, have gradually been pushed to the margins by the fashionable clamour surrounding new means of artistic expression. Painters face the demanding task of developing a personal poetics that reflects both their talent and a contemporary sensibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although they do not constitute a formal group, the three young artists, through their joint exhibition, defend the possibilities of painting through their own individual aesthetics, deepening the understanding of painting as both a concept and a phenomenon. Their artistic achievements provide ample justification for this approach, evident in the complexity of their explorations and the underlying logic of their final solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vjeran \u010cengi\u0107 is inclined towards a synthesis of geometric restraint in the pictorial surface and the physical materiality of its elements. The abstraction of subject matter, whether derived from objects, possible forms or landscapes, has led to regular blocks of subtle yet precise geometry, rhythmically arranged within the composition. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Fields of colour carry forces arising both from the energy of colour and from the relationships between individual fragments. Colour grows in intensity to a veritable chromatic outcry, further heightened by the thick application of paint, suggesting layers beneath the visible chromatic surface perceived at first glance. Through the varying orientations of these fields, \u010cengi\u0107 creates unexpected shifts and paintings of intriguing balance, incorporating ornamentation, a sense of pictorial order and forms of harmony emerging from creative unrest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stanko \u0160poljari\u0107<\/strong><br><em>Foreword to the group exhibition catalogue, Gallery of the INA Cultural and Arts Association and INA Club, Zagreb, 2005.

What they share is the free use of various (combined) techniques, as well as an exploration of painting itself. Paint on canvas, rhythm, light, its texture and that of the underlying surface, marks made with a brush or palette knife, spray, printing matrices, the body or any other means, and its material qualities (gloss, varnish, matte finish, purity, mixing, etc.) exist independently of both representations of reality and surreal fiction. The freedom of form (abstraction) that these young artists have chosen entails a binding responsibility. It may seem contradictory, but creating free painterly forms is the more difficult path. The autonomy of form in painting is an illusory concept. It cannot exist outside discipline, intention and the reconciliation of concept and execution. The mind, the eye and the hand all participate in the making of a painting, and only together do they create an aesthetic expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[\u2026]<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An even rhythm, formed by agitated, irregularly structured zigzag lines and undulating or roughly squeezed-out marks, forms the basis of Vjeran \u010cengi\u0107&#8217;s paintings. By joining two canvases, either accidentally or deliberately, into a single painting, he creates a shifting rhythm, a collision tempered by colour and its harmony, whether through cool or warm tones. \u010cengi\u0107 explores the relationship between geometric forms and the pure organic world, juxtaposes light and darkness, combines different kinds of powerful and subtle movement, and creates new painterly landscapes. The artist does not strive for symbolism, although it may emerge through associations with inner worlds, turbulence and impulses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Branka Hlevnjak<\/strong><br><em>Excerpt from \u201cThree Approaches\u201d.

In this process, the painter has complete freedom to transform the motif he depicts while allowing the subject of that transformation to remain entirely recognisable. The emphasis, however, is placed on the pure energy of creation and active participation in the process of producing a new work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Motifs that possess both strong aesthetic appeal and archetypal symbolism hold the viewer\u2019s attention, as they recognise something close and familiar within them. Yet in Vjeran \u010cengi\u0107\u2019s oeuvre, the motif is merely the starting point for a work, or rather, for a creative process characterised by dynamism, vital energy and the interplay of countless possibilities for interpreting the motif. The artist often expands an apparently completed work into a larger composition consisting of several parts, allowing him to rearrange individual segments like pieces of a puzzle, transforming a figurative motif through quasi-Cubist forms into abstraction. Through this rearrangement, the underlying idea may be preserved, while the work is simultaneously freed from the burden of a final and absolute answer, as well as from the imposition of a single interpretation. In terms of content, too, the symbolism of frequently recurring motifs such as fish, shells and figs is multifaceted.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:26% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/00004_Ribarov_san.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2841 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/00004_Ribarov_san.webp 723w, https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/00004_Ribarov_san-241x300.webp 241w, https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/00004_Ribarov_san-10x12.webp 10w, https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/00004_Ribarov_san-600x747.webp 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We understand the fish as a symbol of the soul, birth and cyclical renewal, a symbol of life and fertility, as well as of the human inner world. Like the colour blue, which predominates in defining the backgrounds of paintings in the new cycle, fish symbolise our emotions and an awareness of values that extend beyond ourselves. From depictions of fish on a table, imbued with a pronounced ritual character, to fish in the deep blue of the sea, Vjeran \u010cengi\u0107 introduces metaphysical meaning into his works, transforming reality into the imaginary, while the essential world of the painting continues in the viewer\u2019s mind. The unusual titles of his works contain a personal element, yet they also intrigue the viewer and encourage individual interpretations of the images projected onto the painted motifs and their relationships. Depending on a viewer\u2019s experience, origins and upbringing, titles such as <em>Molitva (Prayer)<\/em>, <em>U vrtu (In the Garden)<\/em> and <em>Ribarov san (The Fisherman\u2019s Dream)<\/em> may prompt the merging of feelings with desires, knowledge with dreams, the conscious with the unconscious, or awaken memories of childhood. Many of the recurring motifs, including fish, shells and figs, evoke abundance, fertility, happiness and prosperity. However, beyond their literal interpretation, on another level they also signify enlightenment and creative and artistic fertility. In this way, they become the fundamental thread connecting the artist\u2019s inner self with a cosmological principle, forming the essential thematic foundation of his painting.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:26% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"652\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/00023_sova.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2843 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/00023_sova.webp 652w, https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/00023_sova-217x300.webp 217w, https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/00023_sova-9x12.webp 9w, https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/00023_sova-600x828.webp 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 652px) 100vw, 652px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When painting, Vjeran \u010cengi\u0107 enters a world of structure, impasto and colour, seeking to embody primal energy on the surface of the painting. The process is fast and spontaneous, rich in detail and without subsequent corrections, in pursuit of an authentic expression. His paintings directly reflect the artist\u2019s inner state and contain two essential keys to their interpretation. His choice of motifs reveals not only an approach guided by an inner principle and a primordial desire to create, but also an element of a child\u2019s way of seeing the world, in which everything is innocent, pure, alive, bright and open. Meanwhile, the artist\u2019s maturity and character are expressed through the creative process itself and through the shaping of visually compelling material into which he weaves complex, multilayered meanings. The work <em>Povratak majstora (Return of the Master)<\/em>, alongside its personal metaphor for a return to the art scene, explores the eternal struggle of the artist, torn between a hedonistic way of life and the constant need to create, which demands continuous and dedicated work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the motifs remain the same, the wide spectrum of extremes in the treatment of the painted surface, from translucent glazes to thick impasto, from tonal modelling to exceptionally bold and vivid colour contrasts, allows the artist to discover a form that becomes the essence of the painting. <em>Periska<\/em> is a work that perfectly demonstrates just how important the creative process itself is in Vjeran \u010cengi\u0107\u2019s practice. Chromatically exuberant, pulsating, open and richly layered, the material substance of the painting confirms the notion that the motif is merely a starting point. Without its title, which alludes to the riches of the underwater world, the viewer might associate the painting with numerous other forms. The emphasis is on the richness and materiality of colour, which the artist applies directly to the canvas, transforming it into a material palette through which the motif takes shape. The final result is a depiction of a pen shell that appears like a concentrated nucleus of energy on the verge of imploding. Regardless of whether the motif is recognisable or clearly distinguishable, each individual work forms a world of its own, filled with countless details, movement and lines of force that embody a powerful concentration of vital energy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:27% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2018_exhibition_opening_notitia_intuitiva.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"735\" src=\"https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2018_exhibition_opening_notitia_intuitiva-1024x735.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2859 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2018_exhibition_opening_notitia_intuitiva-1024x735.webp 1024w, https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2018_exhibition_opening_notitia_intuitiva-300x215.webp 300w, https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2018_exhibition_opening_notitia_intuitiva-768x552.webp 768w, https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2018_exhibition_opening_notitia_intuitiva-18x12.webp 18w, https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2018_exhibition_opening_notitia_intuitiva-600x431.webp 600w, https:\/\/artletshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2018_exhibition_opening_notitia_intuitiva.webp 1352w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through vivid, pure colours, shimmering surfaces, thick applications of paint, scratching, scraping and incising, Vjeran \u010cengi\u0107 interprets his own spiritual world through the richness of nature. At a time when everything is subordinated to speed, production, quick profit and the market, and when art is often the first to give way by adapting to market demands and current trends, Vjeran follows a path outside the mainstream, painting according to his own inner impulses. His return to painting is marked by the pulsating vitality he brings to his works as he surrenders to the impulse of active creation. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pleasure he takes in colour, its richness, potential and many qualities is a two-way process through which the artist explores the truths of life while encouraging viewers to develop their own interpretations of his works and, ultimately, to reflect upon themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sonja \u0160vec \u0160panjol<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Exhibition text for Vjeran \u010cengi\u0107 \u2013 Notitia Intuitiva, Galerija Prica, Bunker Youth Centre, Samobor, 2018.
