Art is Healing
Art is an amazing vehicle for healing and wellbeing. Art can convey thoughts and emotions that cannot be expressed in words. Boris’ art is his expression of thoughts and emotions about the world around him and his own personal state of being. The war in Bosnia between 1992-1995 was really upsetting to him. He did not take any sides. His concern was about the human suffering that was taking place. The pain of a mother losing her son in war is the same regardless of what side they are on. He was so overwhelmed with this truth that he painted “Mother Crying - War”. It was his way of pouring out the wide range of emotions that were building up inside.
