The project was supervised by the leadership of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia.
"I remember with great warmth the time I spent with my classmates: our walks, joint trips, holidays and the unique atmosphere of communication that prevailed in creative practical classes when we mastered new materials and techniques. The most significant project for me was the one we worked on for the Central Clinical Hospital with the polyclinic of the Office of the President of the Russian Federation. We tried to create a positive visual environment for young patients, their parents and medical staff. The task was very responsible, besides large-scale, complex and lengthy, it required maximum concentration and well-coordinated work of the entire team under the guidance of our mentor, Director of the Costume Design Institute of Ƶ Peter Petrovich Gamayunov. We have developed many sketches, from which the final versions have been selected and finalized. The final murals combine motifs of flora and fauna. Funny and cute little animals in combination with the flora create an atmosphere of comfort and joy. For me, this project was an important professional milestone: it was my first creative business trip, which allowed me to apply my knowledge in new conditions. We are very glad that we were able to successfully implement such an important project," says the graduate.
Nika has already published 14 scientific articles.

"After graduation, I dream that my life will always be filled with creativity and people close to me in spirit! I really want to teach at the university — to share everything I know and love with future specialists, to see how a great interest in art is born in them. I can't imagine life without drawing, so I will definitely continue to create my paintings, look for new ideas and show them at exhibitions and competitions. I am also very attracted to master classes! I love watching adults discover the artist in themselves, and kids delight in mixing colors. So my plans are to teach, create by myself and share the joy of creativity with everyone," adds Nika.
