They say an artist should be hungry. Maybe so, but there should be a roof over your head. For example, the Honored artist of canvas and brush Nikas Safronov has a roof for all roofs — 15-room mansions in a house on Bryusov Lane in Moscow, a stone's throw from the Kremlin. It took more than ten years to design three-storey apartments with a total area of about a thousand square meters. Nikas is very proud of his creation and happily poses against the backdrop of rampant luxury. Let's take advantage of his hospitality and go on a virtual tour.

"My apartment is in the place that I wanted, on the street that I wanted, and in the city that I love," Safronov told Komsomolskaya Pravda in an interview. "It's not a shame to invite any world—class star like Madonna or Sean Connery here: they will be pleased and comfortable, and they will understand that Nikas is really loved in Russia, since he has such apartments, although I bought all this with my own money."

I think now the market value of the apartment will be about 70 million (the interview was published in 2012, how much the apartment costs now is scary to imagine. — Ed.), although, of course, I'm not going to sell it. Now my living space is included in the rating of the best apartments in the world and is exclusive."

The first floor is a journey into the Middle Ages. The artist collected unique furniture, decorative elements, antique antiques throughout his life in Western European countries.
