...Large spectre of artists individual script is seen in most of watercolours. He masterly holds power not only on the brush, but also on colour, drawing, composition, colouring is chosen very subtly, or, on the contrary, couses emotional tensity. The possibilities of a watercolour in his sheets of paper just astonish with explosions of colours. Everything seems like united movement, kept in one colouring, without tortured dabs and accidental spots.

The words defining the attributes of watercolour as an ability to "flow", "be transparent", "fix everything that passes, that has infused life into a permanent motif" (Paul Signac), serve to characterize Benjaminas Jencius watercolours very well. Using the "creative work" of fortuity, the author presents an active interpretation of thought and abstract concept. However, the content is conveyed not by allusions to recognizable objects, but by changes of colours and texture, i.e. by purely formal means.The author finds an individual rhythm, contrast and amount of energy for every thought so that a reflection of the whole raise an adequate understanding in the subconscious of the observer.
