Boris Pelcer (b. 1985, Sarajevo, Bosnia, SFR Yugoslavia) is a visual artist based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. Throughout his life, art has served as a tool for self discovery, a way to delve into the depths of who he is. At its core, the human experience is shaped by the unseen: emotions, thoughts, consciousness, identity, soul, values, morality, imagination, the fleeting dance of time, the invisible threads that connect us all, and the deeply personal pull of meaning and purpose. Through his personal work, he seeks to unravel these complexities, transforming the intangible into something tangible, hoping that, in the act of creation, he will find threads of deeper understanding about himself and the world around him. When he is not creating, he enjoys a peaceful life with his family.
