Borys Bouryak, painter emeritus of Ukraine, active member of the Academic Senate of the International Academy of Modern Art in Rome, is an important charismatic personality of the art of Lviv. For more than 30 years, we have been acquainted with his multifaceted work through group and personal exhibitions in various cities of Ukraine, Austria, Belgium, Germany, France, Italy where his talent as a colorist painter has a great reputation. The painter was born on 25.10.1953 in the village of Podvirne in the Chernivtsi region where, from early childhood, he discovered the world of wonderful and beautiful art. The Borys Bouryak Road is, in many respects, characteristic of the Lviv Art School of the second half of the 20th century. Like most students of the Ivan Trouch School of Fine Arts in Lviv (1970-1974) and the Academy of Fine Arts (1974-1979), he was fascinated by the masters of the Renaissance period, he was shocked by the solo exhibitions of Roman Selsky officially exhibited in the exhibition halls of Lviv. He was very interested in the art of the Baltic and Armenian painters as well as the forbidden and inaccessible art as the work of the French Pierre Bonnard, Georges Rouot and Nicolas de Staël. The complex of impressions and some artistic landmarks received gradually transformed into his own pictorial system. The painter considers that the duty of a painter "is not to paint spots of color, but to think with these spots". For the author the color "is not a pure color" but "a complex substance". The last is formed during the development of the painting, the laying of layers of "smoothing", the use of watercolor painting and the so-called "body painting", reflexes and bill effects. While recognizing the dominant importance of the initial composition the author tries to avoid a constant pattern during his later work. He works as through dynamic emotional impulses in correspondence with the inner need, both his own need and that ... of the web that constantly changes to become independent afterwards and start his life in infinite associative contacts with the public. Then, in the work of the painter appear compositions that we can call significant works.
