A word by H.E. Mr. Homer A. Mavrommatis, the Ambassador of the Republic of Cyprus in Belgrade in the catalog of the exhibition of paintings by Zoran Andric, Gallery - House Dura Jaksic in Belgrade in 2010.
                  
The Cyprus Tourist Organization in cooperation with the Embassy extended an invitation to Zoran Andric, a well known expressionist landscape artist  to visit Cyprus to get to know its people, its culture and Mediterranean hospitality. Zoran Andric I met two years ago in Valjevo during  a visit there and I was impressed by his work and especially his paintings from the coast of Montenegro. I always wondered what the result would be if he used his talents painting Cypriot landscapes. This became a reality thanks to hospitability of the Cyprus Tourist Organization.
 
In return Mr. Andric is offering  us today these paintings a product of his stay there, which are full of the magical colours of the island of Aphrodite in the spring. I am sure that his paintings today will add value to his long career as a landscape artist and become another visual bridge  between  our countries. In his paintings  the castle of Paphos, the old town of Limassol and the endless coast line of the island of Cyprus come to life .
 
This exhibition is the main cultural event organized by the Embassy for the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Republic of Cyprus, and part of the proceeds will be given to “Naša Srbija” for the benefits of children victim of wars.
