Among the interesting works is the creation in 2006 of a copy of the sculpture "Saint Onuphrius", which was originally created by the outstanding Rococo-era artist Johann Georg Pinsel. The copy was transferred to the Borys Voznytsky Lviv National Art Gallery due to the limited accessibility of the original for researchers and art enthusiasts. This is not the first time Roman Vilhushynskyi has turned to the work of the famous predecessor from the mid-18th century. Among his new tasks are copies of the decorative sculptures that adorn the roof of the Buchach City Hall. Some of these were destroyed or significantly damaged by fire. The sculptor is attempting to restore the damaged works, which will make it possible to preserve the originals in a museum and display the copies in their original locations on the town hall roof.
