      The painting by 13-year-old Nizhny Novgorod artist Bogdan Kornishin is presented at an exhibition at the Central Museum of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Moscow. The head of the city, Yuri Shalabaev, noted that he is always particularly pleased to talk about the young talents of Nizhny Novgorod, calling Bogdan a true creative phenomenon of our city, which he shared on his social media. The exhibition is titled "What is most important in the world - peace, love, family, and children" and runs until July 20. "On the canvas, Bogdan conveyed the warmth and grandeur of his native land, inseparable from the value of family. This is precisely the cultural code that we cherish so dearly," the head of the city noted. "Bogdan is a student of the A.I. Khachaturyan Children's Art School, the author of several national and world records in painting, a winner of international and all-Russian competitions, and a participant in over 50 exhibitions in Russia, Serbia, and India. This summer, Bogdan was accepted into the Interregional Union of Russian Artists. And as can be seen from the photo, Bogdan's cat Ryzhik loves him very much," Yuri Shalabaev said. The Department of Culture of the Nizhny Novgorod Administration added that the teenager is the holder of two public awards - the orders "For Contribution to the Development of Domestic Culture and Art" and "Service to Art." The ceremony took place in 2024 at VDNH in Moscow.
