Born in 1959 in Lviv, Poland, into a family of intellectuals, Boris Rachkovskiy is an abstract painter whose artistic journey is marked by rare sincerity and striking emotional depth. Since 1986, his works have been presented in national and international exhibitions and auctions. Yet, for a long time, his modesty kept him from exhibiting more widely: for him, true art requires no publicity. It lives its own life — unpredictable, inward, and shared through the intimacy of emotion.
His work belongs to an aesthetic he himself defines as “emotionalism” — a movement in which art does not seek to represent reality but to translate the artist’s inner feelings. Here, the canvas becomes a passageway to the invisible, a space where emotion becomes language. Each painting draws us beyond the visible, toward a sensory future where the soul is invited to feel rather than to understand.
