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.
"Swimgirls on the Rocks" is a work of the late period of Roman Selsky. The generalized, unpretentious plot conceals the artist's reflections on the problems of human existence and the desire to separate himself from the too-fast pace of life. The artist contrasts the images of young ladies with trees, seeking to merge with nature, emphasizing inner freedom and harmony with oneself.
