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 artist often refers to the image of the Carpathians as a place of peace and harmony between man and the world. His chamber landscapes draw the viewer's attention to small details: trees, branches, and birds. The artist seems to be addressing himself and the depths of his identity. He admires the beauty of his native land and creates lyrical images full of poetry and romance of life.
