Welcome To America
Leaving one’s homeland and emigrating to another country is never an easy decision. Boris left all that was familiar, in Montenegro, for a journey into the unknown. He had a desire for adventure and to see the world. But his love for Montenegro never diminished. Boris compares becoming a U.S. citizen to being adopted but never forgetting your birth parents. He describes it like having two mothers, one birthed him and nurtured him and the other adopted him and took care of him. He says “I love them both.”
This painting, Welcome To America, expresses Boris’ emotions and journey as an immigrant to America.
