Tudor Zbârnea

"Tudor Zbârnea's painting belongs in all its details to the true Romanian tradition, but it can be seen that in depths of his feeling, in the depths of his artistic thinking, these genes, these canons of Romanian colorism were inherited from father to son, from ancient times, for that Tudor Zbârnea is, above all, a colorist. [...] His work is a consolidated painting, a thoughtful painting, a painting that renews. Tudor Zbârnea's paintings are characteristic of two fundamental features of the Romanian school: firstly, a coherent, lucid construction, a very well thought out color distribution on the surface of the painting, and, secondly, an accurate understanding of the color function. Color is not just a matter of hastening a soul meeting - but more importantly - color clearly characterizes an attitude towards art: art that remains, above all, a way of the world understanding and to explain and communicate it to the viewer. It is well known that the painting is not a chatter of some colors on the canvas, but the clear, rational and intelligible dialogue among different colored surfaces. Tudor Zbârnea is a representative of the Romanian art school sensitivity, which still has its roots in the painting of the Moldavian monasteries and which continues through great painters of the 19th and 20th centuries. Through all its essential components - spirituality, sensitivity and plastic thinking - Tudor Zbârnea's paintings belong to this great school."
