„The seriousness of his subject-matter, internal richness of the images and dramatic-emotional fullness of art works – these are the features of Boris Samosuk’s art. His art develops consequently. It logically comes from one stage to another in perfection of his mastery and individual style. From the very beginning his mastery was based on wide erudition and excellent mastering graphic techniques and painting. From the whole range of methods the painter precisely chooses those painting means, which promote to gain necessary emotional expression.

Strict selectivity of subjects, their philosophical comprehension and nearly solemn presentation of the images make his works to be precisely readable. His works reveal internal relations of all-human experience and all-human memory with personal art thinking and the practice of modern painter”.
