The renown New York Critic Edward  J Sullivan , said about her work:

“ There is a sense of classical  calm, dignity and monumentality to the work of Anamario Hernandez. She is the quintessential describer of things. In her still life’s each individual component seems to possess a life of its own....”

” ... Anamario is an artist who can surprise us when we least expect it. Looking at a wide variety of her paintings, we sense her ease in the language of simplicity. Yet, she can also dazzle the eye with astonishing effects of sophisticated and subtle technique. She is also fascinated by complication and complexity within her classical framework of simplicity. In a way , one could even declare her work radical in its faithful adherence to tradition, on one hand, and the powerful expression of a unique individuality of expression an the other.”
