Boris Lekar:

"For many years I have been tackling a problem of interactions between such categories as spirituality, light, and space. My idea always was that the light denotes not only the spirit, but the virtues common to all mankind. In my works I am trying to actualize philosophical notions of spirituality and goodness using light and space as artistic media."
