Word of H. E. Ms. Nafsika Krousti, the Ambasador of the Republic of Cyprus in Belgrade, the exhibition catalog in Valjevo Zoran Andric 2014
I am deeply gratified to be given the opportunity to be in Valjevo. I thank the organizers of the manifestation “Tesnjar’s nights” and especially Mr. Zoran Andric for his kind invitation to me, to open his exhibition “Mediterranean – a century later”, i am honoured. As it is well known the relations existing between our two countries have been traditionally excellent, friendly and confirmed concretely during difficult times for both of them. Our ties have to be brotherly tight as our tradition and Orthodoxy and its high values connect us. Mr. Andric, a renowned and a proved friend of my country, in his own way, contributes to the establishment of even firmer ties between Cyprus and Serbia.
Although i am not an expert, i may certainly recognize the emotion and energy within the paintings of Zoran Andric. I'm particularly pleased that Mr. Andric during his stay in Cyprus, a few years ago, managed to capture the pantheon of colors flourishing in my small country. The motives of sandy beaches, the Mediterranean landscape, the Cyprus sun, the clear Cyprus sky through his images become unreal, as if melting with the Cypriot-Greek mythology.
The painting skills of Zoran Andric are easily recognizable; he is consistently following his artistic direction. He holds its own development and gradually has formed a distinctive visual character. His images are not just pictures, nor colors: His works emanate Poetry, Drama, always there is an outcome. Energy reflected by the paintings of Zoran Andric testifies of an artist who does his best, who seeks and strives to extract from the landscape that reproduces the greatest and most gracious features. The artistic expression of Zoran Andric, irritates our senses, no one will remain indifferent to the color combinations and the outcome thereof. Standing still, always on the sunny side, in front of Mr. Andric new formulations and synthetic vision emerge.

"L'anima nel colore"
L'artista serbo Zoran Andric restituisce al nostro sguardo una bellezza di assoluto effetto emozionale. L'impasto cromatico diventa puro respiro e disteso orizzonte. L'autore sapiente ci conduce, da esperto "Viatico", in luoghi e figure dal timbro fauve e di ascendenze espressionistiche. Nulla e' fuori posto, tutto e' ben condensato e ricercato, grazie alla naturale abilità tecnica e forte intuito creativo. Dinamismo strutturale e liricità pittorica, si fa firma autentica di questo raro interprete dell'arte e dall'antica atmosfera alchemica. Le storie pittoriche proposte sono come note musicali che attraversano la nostra fantasia, rendendo visibile l'impercettibile, così d'ascoltare nel silenzio la voce segreta dell'anima. Entriamo,quindi,in questo universo di colori e racconti locali,così bel osservati e sognati, per vivere e percepire altre emozioni senza tempo.

She writing:
ETHIDE TO HOMELAND LANDSCAPE
Since this earlu youth Zoran Andrić has been amazed by the mill on the river Gradac in Valjevo. It represents the genesis of an ever-changing motive, vhich has, on the other hand, remained recognizable throughout his work.
The artist’s continuous dialogue with the river, made of light and colours of reflecting water mirrors, has created a commons relationship between the nature and the painter’s creative mind. Pleding for absolute independence of the painter’s vision, his expressionistic temperament tends to make endless variations of lirical abstraction.
On this way: from abstraction to experience, from experience to the realization of the vision, there is a meticulous elaboration of the well-known motive through various media techniques. This is how he made many of his media paintings: drawings, oil paintings, pastels and watercolours – all in honour of one particular landscape. Andrić’s recurrent theme is important to all his works and its realization observe of fine art and aesthetic’s aspect is a unique phenomen in our contemporary art.
As guest Russian’s home in Belgrade, Andrić present’s series of recently made watercolours – his favourite technikue, by which he is widely known as one of the best masters in our countru. These watercolours are made of abstracts transparency characterized by a chromatic balance of harmony and contrast, which leads to the creation of intimate poetic sounds. Each of the sounds has its innate rhythm which subtly dynamizes the surface, suggesting endless calm movements. The new paintings refer to a spiritualized strength poetic imagination, creating highly individual works, unlimited and infinite in their scope. In addtion, the tanqible lyrical sensibility permeates Andrić’s paintings.
From there the dialoque with a spectator is unintentional and subtile, but Andrić’s action is impenetrable at a first glance. It seeks attention, trust and observation and it is only then that a modest-sized paintingenriches the spectator with a multi-layered beauty of pure art.
