"...An icon, a symbol, a brand in her own right. A true Lady of Polish ceramics. Strongly connected to nature. She loves people and animals, and with reciprocity. Her artistic world is colorful, fantastic, fabulous. Who wouldn't want to have her works..." - Iwona Siwierska, "Dreams in the Garden".
"Touching Anna Malicka-Zamorska's sculptures, we can't help but smile, remembering our childhood land.... The world is colorful and full of charm, because everyone has both a wolf and a cat in him.
