Critical Review:
Tudor Zbarnea surprises by his delicate arrangement of the composition and chromatics base upon an unalterable rigour of the pictorial material. The palette well "tamed", the surfaces well-aired are subjected to a high-rate craftsmanship, the nature being haloed by the charm of mystery.
