Bories
Shapiro en zijn liefde voor het leven en zijn vak!
Boris Shapiro ontroert, terwijl hij alledaagse maar universeel
menselijke thema’s verbeeldt als de liefde, veelal geïnspireerd
door bijbelse en mythologische vertellingen. Zijn stijl doet
denken aan die van de Hollandse meesters uit de 16e en 17e eeuw. Het
respect dat uit zijn werk straalt voor het leven en zijn gevoel
voor humor geven zijn schilderijen charme, terwijl zijn groot
vakmanschap het beeldend feest dat hij weet te creëren
completeert.

About
painter Boris Shapiro
Boris Shapiro was born in 1968 in Lvov ,
Ukraine. He completed his studies in 1985 at the Lvov Fine Art
School, where he specialized in antique restoration. Upon his
release from the army in 1987 he began working in his field, whichgreatly influenced the progress of his career. Following
his immigration to Israel in 1991, he enrolled in the Graphic
Department of the Visual Arts College in Beer Sheva.
After experimenting with different media and styles, Boris began
developing his 'naïve' style based upon the 16th-17th century
Flaemish Dutch School of painters like of Peter Breughel. Having
come from the non-humorous, non-individualistic, former Soviet
Union, Boris expresses the humor, irony, and simplicity of life.
His portraits are whimsical; the colors are usually earth tones,
symbolizing the down to earthiness of everyday life. Even such worldly “events” like the story of Noah and the
Ark, Jonah and the Whale, etc. take upon themselves simple earthly expression, as the common people of the 17th
century would have envisioned.
