Taking the image onto the verge (almost beyond the verge) of human sight, beyond the limits of its keyboard, Boris Lekar challenges materiality for the sake of its own spirituality. In fact, Boris Lekar resolves the problem, which is unsolvable for an artist, at least for an artist remaining within the limits of the mimetic art – to picture the world of pure spirituality. Because the artist of this choice perceives the world only as a visible one, i.e. that of objects, things, and matter. However, Boris Lekar insists that he, like Maeterlinck (remember “The Blue Bird”?) takes out to the scene of his canvas not bread, but rather the “soul of bread”, not sugar but rather “soul of sugar”, not water but rather the “soul of water”.
