Mykhailo Selezinka interprets still life in more disposable, impressionistic
manner. The artist considers that the primary task is to determine the composition and
emotional content. So we can conclude that the form itself in this case is secondary,
derivative, and therefore it is not necessarily to inherit a nature. However, it serves as
an instrument of creative intent of the artist as a primary source. Such works attract by
the immediacy of motives, emotional tension and a soft watercolor texture. In them,
the life course seemed to be momentarily stopped, to capture again a wave of passionate
passions and gusts through the wave.
The world of Mykhailo Selezinka`s paintings, always filled with a living
substance that is in close relationships and not simple interactions, actively breathing
and throbbing. This rhythm, which seems the sense of the era, with its rapid flight in a
whirlpool of unknown, is quite obvious and justified. Plastic of brush stroke is so
flexible and intense, and the game of forms and lines is expressive and rich, that the
interconnection of the discovered objects is perceived not so much on material as on
an emotional level. This is the evidence of not only the high professionalism of the
artist, but also his philosophical attitude: that Mikhailo Selezinka gives it a unique
value - the Being, based on the categories of spirituality and humanism.
