"...The journey of Boyarski is into her own inner world,
painting sensations and feelings along with windows.
Boyarski sets out to portray not only the outward view, but that which is concealed. Boyarski "sews" into her painted windows and doorways the figures that she paints in black and white
from out of her imagination, seemingly drawn from the past, and who bear their own private, hidden history.
At times, the figures seem to be silhouettes, as in the painting "Abbey Road". It seems that Boyarski is searching for the narrative behind the doorways.
Boyarski fells that it is important to show what is happening on several planes: the level of the here and now as well as plane of consciousness.
Boyarki does further as she attempts to connect elements from the past and from her subconscious as may be seen in her painting "East Wind". Boyarski's painting "Father"s Chair" creates a somewhat distorted space, with an unstable floor, and the wall of a structure that actually does not exist but through which the viewer is thrust to the outside, into a green forest with figures that seem to peer out at us from the past.
The empty chair - a familiar motif from art history - is essentially the chair symbolizing absence, which is much more powerful then presence. Boyarski's chair event lacks a backrest, which increases the sense of absence and lack of security.
Boyarski accomplishes a combination of the real and the imaginary in her paintings. Charles Baudelaire has said that "The true traveler travels only in order to depart". It seems that Boyarski's artworks attempt to launch their viewers on precisely such a journey."

"...Boyarski's artistic creations impress the onlooker. it reveals a sophisticated layout and outstanding artistic ability.
Boyarski's artistic expression is channeled as a result of two different desires. The conquest of realism and at the same time expression of her own artistic language. She searches after an appropriate confirmation that interlaces the realistic and the fantastic, so skilfully expressed in her compositions. This search invites the onlooker to take part in the "play". This is in part the perception of her art. Complexity and intricacy result in eliminating the illusionary space, yet at the same time direct the onlooker inside into the painting."

"...The painting of figures and masks stand out in
their particularism. Boyarski uses different types of people as mirror images
of the place. Masks assimilate into a pictorial noplace.
A new motive lately appearing in Boyarski's works are plaster reliefs. This is not a sculptural relief. The traces of this create an inner embroidery. The flowing relief like the vein adds pulsation to the whole painting.
Boyarski is an artist who never ceases to search for new forms of expression to fulfill her needs. Boyarski points out new existence and a private world creating a new world of representation."
