The exibition "Voice of the Horison" of Borce Bogoevski tend to become a code of his thoughtful and emotional preoccupations that often result in search of a solution to the universal dilemmas: the possibility of a balance between man and cosmos, the spirit and mater, technology and nature… That is why, and the not by a chance, the esthetic and artistic realization of the work, the autor decided to make it through constructing a binary structure in wich the “difficulty” of the assumed answer is replaced with the well known light – dark antagonism.
This dualism or the possibilities of its changing, remolding, corresponding, in this case, manifests itself through variations of artistic solutions in color, form and technical realization of the work. The primary idea goes through many visual modifications depending the medium in wich is realized ( painting, object, or a combination of the two ), but always keeping the same original spiritual matrix.
The sense of balace between black and white, color – nocolor, articulated in the monochrome of the paintings, corresponds with the use of metal as a representation of light in the object – paintings. The subtle visual reveling of color, changing from dark to light that brings dynamics to the work, corresponds to the optical illusion made by opening and perforating the work of art and is caused by effect of light and dark. Even when the painting is reduced to monochrome, totally painted I black, we can see the tendency of accenting the process of changing the dark ( as a represent to the mater ) to light, through reflecting itself from the dark. The multiplying of shapes guides the spectators’ eyes to the center, emphasizing the suggestive and optical sensation that the piese is causing. The center is in the focus of his attention as a form of the highest refinement of the spirit.
Noticeable symbolism can be found not only through coulour but through shape. The basic constructive formula of each piece is create their function through one binding partition as a representative of uniting energy ( the square as a symbol of mater and circle as a symbol of spirit ). The systematic reductionism of all art patterns that make relations to reality is a process that bring these works of art close to minimal – art.
Trough experimentating with combining the same shapes and forms, the author verifies the content of the basic idea established both in the painting and the object. That also imposed rational shaping of the whole and keeping a constant in use of the basic components that build it – dominant black color, order in the composition of the pieses, geometric concept and pyrified monochrome. The basic idea of the autor is to bring the object to its’ highest degree of refinement, that represents new spiritual dimension.

To See Yourself ( 2009 ) ( Exhibited at XIV Bienal of young artists from Europe and the Mediterranean, Museum of Contemporary Art, Skopje, Macedonia )
The artwork To See Yourself depicts my thoughtful and creative preoccupations that mostly lead to a search for the solution of universal dilemmas: the possibilities of balance between human and cosmos, spirit and mater, technology and nature.
The basic structure of the artwork is a motherboard as a representative of a moving system, symbolizing a matrix of all things. My basic idea is to bring the shape to its highest state of purity, wich represents a new form of spiritual dimension for me.

Tertium Organum ( 2011 ) ( Exhibited at Paratisima - International artistic and cultural event organiset in Youth Cultural Centre, Skopje, Macedonia ( 2014 ) )
Tertium Organum is an artwork wich incorporates nine concentric circles, out of wich the central and at the same time the smallest one forms a sphere. I focus my attention on the circle as a degree of the highest purification of the soul, symbolizing a base similar to a matrix, whose principle has always signified the immutability of energy, existence.
Tertium Organum is a moving system, whose aim is to direct the observer’s gaze to the work’s center, wich to me is an inspiration code, a spiritual matrix wich uses its “form – spirit” to elevate spiritual essence to a higher level.
The title of the work translated means iconological mirror is taken from a book by Russian philosopher Pyotr Demianovich Ouspenski, and it represent the thirt canon of thought, the key to world enigmas.

METAКUBOКONCEPT ( 2013 ) ( Exibited at Museum of Contemporary Art, Skopje Macedonia ) ( text below: MK. version )
Носечки елементи во ова дело се коцката како форма и јамболијата како материјал. Ова дело својата идеја и мотивираност ја изразува преку симболиката за севкупноста на македонскиот народ низ неговата културна и егзистенцијална историја. Тука ги споив универзалноста на коцката – како сигурност, стабилност и постојаност од една страна, и јамболијата која укажува на длабоката хумана врзаност за овој фрагмент од традицијата, како инспиративен код, како носталгично сеќавање, како трансмисија. Ова дело не настојува да редефинира некакво просторно скулпторско поимање, напротив , преку својата ликовна „форма дух“ ја приближи духовната суштинана на едно повисоко ниво. Оттука, ако коцката има улога на куќа, а основната функција на куќата е да заштити, да згрижи, тогаш универзалната симболика на коцката е како утробата на жената во која треба да се зачува она што треба да се роди. Тој сегмент е претставен преку светлечки објект – како отворен прозорец кон светот, поставен од едната страна на коцката во нејзиниот централен дел, чија симболика се сведува на неговата метафизичка димензија.
METAКUBOКONCEPT преку својата содржина „форма дух“ја добива димензијата на самиот живот, а тоа подразбира постојана промена, постојано раѓање.А животот како состојба на битисување, ја истакнува човековата природна потреба за еднаквост со другиот, и на неговиот отворен однос кон светот.

"HETIMASIA" ( 2015 ) Exibited at Galery FLU-Skopje Macedonia
Borche Bogoevski is presenting his object (installation) Hetimasia, wich as an iconographic segment, is taken from its canonic representation in the setting of the church wall painting. Composed of almost the same components as the canonized Hetimasia (wich includes the throne for the Second Coming of Jesus as a part of the Last Judgment, together with the attributes of the Passion of Jesus - the crucifix, the spear and thesponge, as well as the book, the pall, The Holly Ghost represented as a sphere over the throne), this symbolic representation of the Holly Trinity is derived from the two-dimensional iconic ensemble, and materialized in the momentary context, in a strict and precisely worked out manner, wich gives this artwork a seriousness in the presentation.
The throne, wich is prepared for The Second Advent, in this artwork, almost exactly as the canonized representation, symbolizes the invisible presence, wich visually is not understandable to us, creates a tensility oriented towards the physical emptiness on the throne, emphasizing the mystique of his personal and creative story. A sequence of events, happenings in global frames, the desructive force of the time, under wich the human and foremost the creative sensibility is subjected to, has influenced his intimate thoughts which the author fully converts into an esoteric ambient.
Presented in its purest and vivid form, the Borche"s Hetimasia symbolizes the metaphysical introduction of the subjective perceptions. The iconographic refinement of the structure and the carefully chosen elements illustrate the polarity between the holly absence and the subjective invisible presence.

"Ezotera Aesthetic" ( 2016 ) ( Exibited at Flux Gallery, Skopje, Macedonia
One man and two eyes.
One of them is earthly, and the other, spiritual.
Both of them have to become one.
One who sees and at the same time knows ... comprehends and reasons.
But! Before it sees, it should become incapable to lacrimate."
