Gazmend Ceno

Gazmend Ceno is a writer, violinist, and puzzle creator whose work brings together art, language, and logic. He began publishing poetry and prose in Albania while still in high school and released his first poetry collection in 1999. After moving to the United States, he published Single Cloud, a collection of poetry in English, and translated several works into Albanian.

He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Tirana in 1990, marking the occasion with a live performance of Paganini’s 24 Caprices for Solo Violin, and later taught violin at the LAJM School of Music before settling in Chicago.

In 2008, Gazmend created Albcell, a number puzzle shaped by his long interest in patterns, structure, and disciplined thought. After further study in mathematics and biochemistry, he returned to the project and developed the Albcell series in three editions: Albcell.1, Albcell.d, and Albcell.r.

Gazmend creates puzzles for readers who enjoy creative thinking, sharp logic, and a real mental challenge. If you like puzzles that push you to think in a fresh way, explore the Albcell series and get your copy today.
