"The central characteristic of Tzarev’s art is the generosity of its response to new experiences, its hunger for visual stimulation, its glorious colour, and its accessibility. Her paintings evidently pour out of her in an almost continuous stream. But they are not, simply, even the numerous flower-paintings, a response to what she encounters in the external world. They are about what she discovers, on each occasion, within herself…"

"…Ana Tzarev is a dynamic and visionary painter because she has a constant desire to get it all done, to recreate what she encounters in her own visual language. Contemporary painters have rather lost this gift, which was possessed in full measure by the Post-Impressionists and early Modernists. Her work reverts in spirit to an earlier and more heroic time."
