In the article, the oeuvre of Sherkhan Murtaza are discussed in the context of the conceptual-figurative character of natural phenomena for the first time. The literary texts which have been previously studied in the context of various aspects have been analyzed in view of a new approach to the study of the artistic role of landscape. The landscape is considered to be a personal view of the world, reproduced by the writer, and in this regard, research along this cognitive line. As exemplified in the novels of “Aisha”, “Black Pearl”, and “Red Arrow” by Sherkhan Murtaza, the parallels of landscape sketches with the author’s intention are analyzed, resulting in uncovering of artistic concepts of earth, sky, fire, and water. A general idea of the concept-forming role of the artistic landscape in the poetry of Sh. Murtaza was systematized and formed.
