Roman Selsky is a central figure of high modernism in Ukraine and the founder of the modern Lviv school of painting. He worked in the fields of easel and graphic art. The author's artistic style reflects the entire evolution of European modernism, from impressionism to abstraction.
The 1970s and 1980s were the period when Roman Selsky could create freely, achieving the greatest inner liberation. The artist turns to images of nature to visualize his feelings. He is not interested in large panoramas — he focuses on depicting stones, blades of grass, and butterflies flying freely among them. The artist learns to notice the beauty in the small and strives to find harmony with the world.
