As an artist beginning a new work, Novoselov makes a goal for himself to achieve the best incarnation of his vision of the scene, more lively translating the idea of the composition. He prefers to work with a soft color palette, and he loves bright tones. Novoselov's works differ from other similarly skilled productions by their metal volume. He believes that his works should be remembered for their compositions, excellent drawings, surprisingly picturesque colorations, and thin finishing details.

B.K. Novoselov's works are exhibited in the All-Russia Museum of Decorative, Applied and Folk Art, the State Historical Museum, the State Russian Museum, the Plyos State History, Architecture and Art Museum-Preserve, the Ivanovo Region Art Museum and the Kholuy Art Museum. In his free time Boris likes to go fishing and hunting. He wishes success in everything to admirers of his work.
