Nikas Safronov, a notable Russian artist, presented a portrait of Donald Trump, commissioned by Vladimir Putin as a gift. This artwork symbolizes Trump’s defiance following a 2024 assassination attempt, with blood depicted on his face against a backdrop of the US flag and Statue of Liberty. Safronov revealed he initially suspected Putin's involvement in the commission, which was later confirmed by the Kremlin's spokesperson. Trump's envoy confirmed the portrait's significance, linking it to the broader context of US-Russia relations amid ongoing geopolitical tensions over Ukraine.
It was important to me to show the blood, the scar and his bravery during the attempt on his life, Safronov told CNN.
President Putin had commissioned a beautiful portrait of President Trump from the leading Russian artist and actually gave it to me and asked me to take it home to President Trump.
