  "This Testimony is to a man that i highly respect, to a man that i see as a great friend. Boris has a deep and artistic stream that i admire and come back to over and over. When i pop into his stream i have to sit and think because i know this man is saying something. Now there are times that he may not be saying anything but that is a time as well where i have to think. Is he saying something or not. The bottom line is that Boris is a professional and a great Artist . I love his work many times over. Thank you my friend. ~ James"

  "There is something very different about the way Boris handles his Flickr site, He is able to engage people in a conversation, starting with his picture....then the discourse takes on a life of its own. I havent seen anybody else that can engage so many, so effortlessly, and it is fascinating to watch. He manages to be in control and vunerable at the same time . He has a most interesting home to visit on flickr, that I highly recommend."

  Boris is one of the most interesting, generous and sweetest guys you'd ever want to meet. He's a worldly, fascinating, multi talented renaissance type man. There is always so much thought that goes into his incredible works, his wonderful creations. He always makes me think, he always makes me smile. I can't say enough good things about him. Thank you for everything my dear sweet handsome friend ! ; )"

  "Essays, poems and reflections , these are what I call Boris' photos. It has been a while that I have been viewing his photos . Until I saw his photo of Benazir Bhutto ! That did it ! I added him to my contact and he responded by adding me back.
  Boris , your words are endearing . For me as well as for your other friends. I feel that you are a warm and caring friend, always appreciative of our work.
  Nice to have met you !"

  "if there is a piece of canvas mounted on a wall in a high end museum right infront of my face, i would just stare at it because they dont communicate to me. then there goes my 10 euros for just dropping my jaw in awe of a famous name.
  thanks to flickr for providing me an artist like you that I can relate to. I thought flickr was just a site to build up esteem on people who seeks verifications out of their mediocre craft and esteem...but i was right in choosing you as a contact... i knew at the beginning... that with your works... there is more to it than meets the eyes :-)
  
  keep it up... im always watching, even with my distorted perceptions
  
  more power to you and your family... the kids especially!

  "Boris has a rare talent as an artist and photographer. I always look forward to seeing his new works. He is truly an avant-garde artist. His style is unique and unmistakable. He is also a genuine person and a pleasure to know if even only as a Flickr friend from afar. Bravo Boris!"

  "It is too audacious and ambitious for me to write a testimonial for an artist. Boris' art is multi-faceted that I can't name them all, and his art can be interpreted on so many different levels that I can't do them all and correctly. The artist Boris I've known so far displays a metamorphosed Kerouac soul rediscovered in the 21st century's time capsule and reinventing a cultural catalyst trend with an optimistic and liberal mindset by holding humanitarianism in high regard.
  
  As far as I am concerned, his painting style presented is a marriage of post-impressionism and cubism, which conveys strong emotions in simple, yet obscure patterns of expression that demand a sensitive and patient audience. I admire his originality in his experimental art designs (painting and photography) as well as those introduced in his Design and Art set which continues to amaze and assure the modern civilization there is a Second Coming in humanity and arts and we could reside our faith in a prophetic artist like Boris."

  "It's very rare to find a great artist who is also a nice and friendly person. I want to thank you, Boris, for the joy your works bring to me every day and for the human part of your way of being. I'm so happy our paths have crossed."

  "Before considering Boris as a fantastic artist (photographer/painter) I consider him as a real human and I like to highlight his deeply humanistic ideas.. He doesn't limit himself to the form; instead he sincerely tries to transfer some humanist ideas by his works.. His photos/paintings take you to another world within which you can explore deepest human feelings.. His works and his words make you think about a better world.. A world based on humanity, love, and peace.. I am really pleased to have him as a friend.."

  "Dear Boris, it's always a pleasure to dive into your stream, I enjoy your work enormously. And you are one of the most, if not the kindest Flickr friend one could have. You never seize to be generous with your kind and appreciative comments and your interest is genuine. The only thing that frustrates me is never being able to give you a solo comment, but then again with such great work online it would be rare to find one without a comment on it ;)"

  "Edgar Degas once said......"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see." I believe he was talking about Boris. Boris is an artists artist. His inspiration and encouragement are quite powerful. Through his art, he allows us to see past the picture. Thank you Boris. Always, Robin"

  "Boris is a very talented artist as you can see through his photos, and now he has shown us even more talent in his paintings. He is very kind and friendly, and also honest. I feel lucky to have discovered him and consider him a true Flickr friend. His love for life, beauty, and his family, show in his work. His photo, of his painting of his wife, and his comments about her, say so much about the kind of person he is. Check out his stuff. You will be glad you did.

  "Hi Boris,
  
  You are naturally and creatively gifted person. Thanks for sharing your artwork to everyone here. They are very encouraging. I can feel your passion in your work; your spirit speak through all your artworks. You have your own way of pushing the envelope and that is a beautiful and positive quality. Keep on keeping on.
  
  By the way, one of my many favorites is the painting of your wife's self-portrait. Thanks for sharing to everyone.
  
  Take care..........................Caroline"
