The study clarifi es the genesis and aesthetic nature of short prose and the complex process of artistic modeling of the world in the creative heritage of D.Markovich. The terminological content of the artist’s artistic world is an original and unique vision of
the movement of literary schools, trends, currents, the typology of stylistic development and the genre system of literature.The artistic world of the writer, an integral attribute of which is a person, the subject environment, the inner world, actions – a multidimensional and complex concept. The artist is evaluated primarily by the fact that he individually contributes to the refl ection of each of these concepts. As an art system, D. Markovych’s works are interesting in terms of genre and style search and discovery, which carries a unique charge of spiritual, intellectual and emotional infl uence. Responding to the challenges of time, the author showed originality both in the choice of a system of aesthetic principles and in artistic pursuits. The ambivalence of D. Markovych’s prose is openness and at the same time complex coding, which requires an intensive search for a corresponding discursive key, with the help of which it is possible to determine the phylogeny of the evolution of his style. Connected with the material inherited from the previous era, obeying the general laws of development, D. Markovych managed to show his voice as brightly as possible, to form his perception and understanding of life, fi gurative world, to embody the iconic transition from realism to modernism.
