To je početak geneze uvek istog, a uvek različitog motiva umetnikovog zavičajnog pejzaža. Iz tog kontinuiranog likovnog dijaloga, satkanog od svetla i boje što se prelamaju kroz bljesak rečnih ogledala, razvija se međuodnos prirode i sopstvenog umetnikovog bića. Pledirajući u odnosu priroda – umetnik za apsolutnu nezavisnost slikareve vizije, ekspresionistički temperament umetnika uobličio je likovni doživljaj kao vid asocijativne lirske apstrakcije čije su varijacije beskrajne. Na tom putu: od podsticaja do doživljaja, od doživljaja do likovnog ostvarenja vizije, traje duga i uporna elaboracija znanog motiva uz tragalačku radoznalost u ispitivanju mogućnosti koje slikaru pružaju različiti mediji i njihove tehnike. Tako su nastajale mnoge slike u tehnici: crteža, pastela, ulja i akvarela u čast samo jednog predela. Ova Andrićeva velika tema, od genetskog je značaja za ceo njegov opus, a njena realizacija, posmatrana iz likovnog i estetskog aspekta izuzetna je pojava u našoj savremenoj umetnosti.
Kao gost Ruskog doma u Beogradu, Andrić prikazuje seriju ovih dana nastalih akvarela, u svojoj omiljenoj tehnici u kojoj je neosporno jedan od najboljih majstora u nas. Akvareli ovog perioda satkani od apstraktno bojene prozračnosti u kojima hromatski odnosi harmonije i kontrasta stvaraju intimne poetske zvuke, a poseduju svoj unutarnji ritam koji blago dinamizuje površinu slike, te ona sugeriše neprestano tiho kretanje. Nove slike ukazuju na spiritualizovanu snagu poetske imaginacije, što rađa dela kao samosvojne tvorevine, pa im je projekcija nemerljiva i neograničena. Uz to uvek osetan senzibilitet lirskog naboja prožima i ove Andrićeve slike. Otuda je dijalog sa gledaocem nenametljiv i suptilan, ali Andrićevo delo se ne otvara na površan osvrt. Ono traži pažnju, poverenje i duže posmatranje – i tada slika, često nevelikih dimenzija uzvraća gledaocu slojevitošću lepote čistog slikarstva.“

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 motivethrough 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-sizedpaintingenriches the spectator with a multi-layered beauty of pure art.’’
