Along with Edward Kozak, Mykola Butovich and Michael Moroz, Hutsaliuk was cited in 1972 as amongst the best known of Ukrainian painters living in the United States, and mentioned as "becoming increasingly popular".
[3] Hutsaliuk enrolled at the Cooper Union School of Art, graduating in 1954 and pursued further studies at the Campanella Academy in Rome, which gave him the silver medal in 1970.
[3] From 1955, Hutsaliuk began splitting his time between New York, and his tranquil and airy studio in Paris at Rue de Vaugirard 103.
"[3][7] His work was displayed in many one man shows in galleries in major cities such as Milan and Toronto, in addition to New York and Paris.
"[3] Le Hors-Cote said of Hutsaliuk in 1959, "This urban landscape artist seems to inlay his colors into the canvas to give us cityscapes that haunt us with their new faces.
[3] The Ukrainian Weekly spoke highly of Hutsaliuk's "enchanting oil paintings, gouaches and watercolors of French landscapes and florals".
