The scientific novelty of the article is aimed to systematise the important principles of the author's creative method of Mykhailo Sapozhnykov, identifying the main principles of form creation in his symbolist paintings and elucidating the role of painting from the nature. Conclusions. The number of works analysed in the study demonstrated several principles on which the artist tried to build his personal system of form creation. According to the results of current scientific research, the author has been identified three conceptual variants of the transformation of painting material with realistic direction from the nature into a symbolist figurative construction. The importance of works with realistic direction have been proven.
