The work of this artist previously little studied, individual exhibitions, he was not, only a small part of the works presented in the Art Museum. But now they are exhibited in Dnepropetrovsk literary Museum. In a small room presented a painting of him that wrote shoemakers, being confined to bed by severe illness. Therefore, he depicted what he saw from the Windows at different times of the year, days, with different mood. And called his sketches he just "motives". Motif No. 1, No. 2 and so on. Each "motif" is a special condition of the artist, and the viewer, they also are perceived differently. All of his paintings Mikhail Sapozhnikov necessarily accompanied by texts from the Bible. He was a deeply religious man, so his work is permeated with Christian symbolism.
