The art historian Lukomsky called the artist a true adherent of classical art. Watercolor works by Chistovsky are amazing by their technical perfection. Among the main subjects of creativity are naked women, still lifes, flowers, as well as portraits of celebrities, landscapes, mythological scenes, flowers and icons.

In the south of France (in Cenevieres), the artist had a beautiful garden and a rich conservatory, where he grew and painted his favorite orchids.
