To preface an understanding of his new work, Mr. Boborelu had sent me an outline and diagram of the 5 Buddha Families and the 5 Realms of Samsara, representing the transcendent, brilliant, & compassionate states of Mind and Reality . . .

In a large diptych of four fitted panels in black and white only, totaling 8 feet high by 12 feet wide, Boborelu has created what I’d describe as a "geometric object field” : a painting in which black fractal objects on a white ground vibrate beyond the visible animation of objects into a deep spiritual contemplation.  These forms capture a momentary / instantaneous Space / Time Continuum.

In another painting, measuring 40" x 40", flowing currents of bright red, green, yellow, and blue

paint move diagonally downhill across the canvas from upper left to lower right.  This motion seemed to create a flowing bridge of colored space which juxtaposed this piece and the diptych

together.

The sensation of this bridge connected over a kind of open space, and this space seemed to occur in the time frame between my initial impression of the artwork and the moment in which the smaller painting then carried me into the threshold of a Buddhist state of Contemplation. This sensation then proceeded to a second threshold, in which the black and white fractals and the colored animation took on an energy of Matter, such as a vision of the conception of Life.

It would appear that in his spiritual explorations Mr. Boborelu has discovered a means to trace, and in many instances, create a syncopation in the flow of Time.  His artwork in this way orchestrates a form of music.
