Soon thereafter, the artist began to captivate not just the Albanian public, but the many foreign dignitaries and embassy personnel working and traveling there. he participated in numerous exhibitions organized by private Albanian galleries as well as the State Gallery of Art. Building on these accomplishments, Cene participated aboard in exhibitions of Albanian contemporary art.

He strikes the public with a very personal commanding style using bold, expressive forms and color palette. Remaining at the same time optimistic, Cene paints as if he wants to give solutions to the very difficult and aggressive Albanian transition after the fall of Communism. His art has a very immediate effect in managing to succseed and convince in giving this positive message, while never losing his powerful approach.
