The artist has disinfected the injury with iodine, bandaged and continued painting canvases. However, after a few days I noticed that the hand was badly swollen. Safronov turned to the clinic.

Here all doctors extensive experience with wounds and wound infections. Leading surgeons who did my operation worked a lot in combat, truly rescued soldiers and officers with much more complex injuries than mine. So I trust them completely,” – said the artist.

Doctors diagnosed Safronova purulent-serous inflammation of the index finger, which is usually transmitted to the joint from a long unhealed wound. “After the first surgery I spent in the intensive care unit a day after the second — three, and the worst thing is that there was a complete lack of connection with the outside world. In the usual rhythm of my daily hundreds of calls, dozens of meetings, talks, interviews, events. And suddenly be in a complete vacuum… but still without the possibility to take up work of brush and paint — but this is psychologically difficult. But, on the other hand, there was a time in the silence to think about your own life, future plans…” said Nikas.
