Retina Cengu is 8 years old but she is talented in painting. Although with different abilities, Retina the youngest painter from Kukës, has managed to make her dream come true. Thanks to the support of her parents, she was able to open her first exhibition of paintings entitled “Pranvere mbi telajo” in the lobby of the Palace of Culture, “Hasan Pristina”.

One of Retina’s supporters was journalist Bujar Muçmata.

“Tina is special. She is only 8 years old and has a talent that not everyone has,” he said.

Part of the exhibition were also professionals who appreciated the talent of the 8-year-old.

“Retina is an impressionist painter who paints quickly and throws the emotion she has on the canvas,” said the painter Muhamet Kërpaçi.

Retina’s mother tells of the time when she realized her daughter’s talent.

“We discovered Tina’s talent when she was only 5 years old. She paints every day at school and at home, she adores nature, which she expresses in every one of her paintings. Until today, Tina has more than 50 paintings, some of which she has given to family and society,” said Gerta Cengu.

The exhibition presented 50 of her works, most of them landscapes.
