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.
Roman Selskyi formed his own artistic style under the influence of various avant-garde movements, the trends of which can be seen in the artist's paintings. In particular, the work "On the Pink Sheet" parallels the works of the French fauvist artist Henri Matisse. Roman Selskyi neglects realism and prefers picturesqueness and the free expressive use of colors.
