The Cinematographic Series by Vjeran Cengic, begun in 2021 and continuing to this day, represents a unique exploration of painting on raw linen canvas. The works, mostly in dimensions of 150 x 150 cm, 120 x 100 cm, and 100 x 70 cm, are created entirely by hand via mixed media. Oil is combined with a variety of paints, binders, resins, glues, and other materials to achieve layered textures, vibrant surfaces, and precise control over light and pigment.

These paintings focus on visually reduced classical motifs, such as folded drapery, illuminated canvases, or faint projections of plants in jars. Shapes shift between minimal abstraction and subtle figurative forms, creating a dynamic balance between realism and abstraction, presence and absence, hand and material. The interplay of light, shadow, and form, sometimes enhanced by transparent resin or tactile impasto applications, brings each work to life with both energy and quiet contemplation.

This collection is ideal for collectors and contemporary art enthusiasts who appreciate innovative techniques, tactile surfaces, and a powerful visual dialogue between color, light, and material. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind original, embodying both thoughtful experimentation and expressive spontaneity.
