Boris Pelcer

An ode to self exploration. A lesson in complete surrender. For in it I find the meaning of it all. With open heart accept it. Surrender to it all fully, for this moment here and now is all there is.

From the boundless cosmic ocean, a single drop separates in a flash of being. Its brief separation containing the fullness of my existence, before it dissolves once more into the eternal fountainhead, the source of all.

And I got what I always wanted, to call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved on this pale blue dot, with you in my arms. Until death and beyond.

Sometimes I wonder if that which I describe as ideas, visions, and epiphanies, are not a byproduct of my mind, but perhaps come from an external source.

The creative space allows me to self soothe while getting a glimpse of deeper aspects of my psyche. It’s a visual journal of sorts, where the conscious, subconscious, and unconscious weave stories of the self.

In a dance between primal forces and reason, through the uncharted terrains of inner labyrinths of the everyday existence, therein small moments of joy reside. Thus, one must imagine Sisyphus happy.

Life seems to be a journey of surrendering to the inherent unpredictability of existence, finding solace in the beauty of the undefined and discovering the strength to carry the weight with grace and resilience.

A delicate balance between our physical and mental realms, a balance that shapes our experiences and defines our existence.

It might be hard to think about it this way, but it’s true, we are dying, constantly, with each passing day. Everything is a phase, including the miracle of our existence we are lucky enough to experience.

Labyrinth. Veiled realms of the subconscious and unconscious. Modern life keeps us distracted, disconnected even from our own selves. Unless we slow down, and spend some time with ourselves.

It seems to me, that it is precisely the ephemeral nature of this human experience, the impermanence that we will all endure, that gives beauty to each fleeting moment.

The unraveling, some years ago, though painful, was much need. It allowed me to finally understand my inner world. A recalibration of my core. The outcome was a more intentional life.
✨

The essence of the creative act for me, comes from a desire to reach out and attempt to grasp some aspect of the ephemeral. To attempt to capture that ephemeral force feels like magic to me.

Something a bit different. One of the many small movie themed paintings I made for the last Mondo Con back in 2019. Can't believe that was already 6 years ago.
✨
Danny Torrance. Watercolor & Gouache on Paper. 5 x 6.25 in.

Somewhere in my late 30’s, I finally began to see how little I knew over the span of my life. Did the best with what I knew. When I finally began to see things clearer, I felt like a sleepwalker awakening.

Brooding. Acrylic on Paper. 3 x 4.5 in.

Self confrontation. Foundation of self awareness. Uncomfortable, but yet much needed on the path of continuous growth.
✨
Confrontation. Graphite & Acrylic on Paper. 5 x 6.25 in.

Modernity has disconnected most of us from our relationship to nature. As we grow more dependent on technology, our disconnect grows bigger. I wonder what this divergence means for the path humanity treads forward.

✨
Prints:

An ode to the power of human resilience. The weight of that which has transpired. And yet, I am here. Somehow, I found a way to open my heart to joy, love, kindness & compassion, unwilling to have my spirit be broken.

Thought my life, art has served as a tool for self discovery. At times I neglected my relationship to my creativity & I felt like a bird without its flight. Since, I make time each day to sit & mediate through art.
✨
Fall From Grace. Acrylic & Digital. 8 x 10 in.

One sunny morning, some 13 years ago in Moscow, Idaho, a peaceful breakfast moment allowed for something ephemeral to happen. I felt like I was part of the cosmos itself, and cosmos was part of me.

Everything is connected. Our journey through life, the slow unveiling of self discovery, brings with it the realization that every breath, every bite, is sustained by consumption of other living organisms.

✨

Roman busts, beautiful in their decay. The best case of a legacy any of us get, a faint likeness, mere traces of our essence left behind. Somehow that thought felt freeing, to just live well & let the rest go.
✨
Fragments I.

One day when the vessel seizes to be, through something resembling a portal, the cosmic light that awakened this earthly flesh, will perhaps go back to the source, looking for a new being to animate.

What do I hope my tombstone will say? I seem to come back to this: “loving father and a loving husband”. Just a human that made his family feel immensely loved. That's it.
