Not all heroes wear capes but their good deeds speak for themselves. This is yet another story to prove that even the smallest of us are capable of changing the world for the better and restore the faith in younger generations. Children come up with the most brilliant ways to solve problems that adults often fail at.

How to combine a love for art and help for stray animals? A kind-hearted 9-year-old Russian boy Pavel Abramov has the perfect answer to this question. The young artist from a small city of Arzamas in Nizhny Novgorod has been painting beautiful pet portraits and not to make money for his toys or a new phone, as you would expect. He exchanges his beautiful paintings for animal food and supplies and donates it to a local animal shelter. Everyone can help in their own way.

    Pavel and his mother Ekaterina Bolshakova started this animal painting project called “Kind paintbrush” about a year ago. This idea originated in Pavel’s brilliant mind when the loss of a four-legged friend hit the family and he could no longer ignore stray animals wandering the streets of the city. He needed to take part in making a change in memory of his dear Barsik and he definitely did; in the most creative and generous way.

    Pavel paints adorable animals of owners who are ready to sign a deal to provide kilograms of porridge, meat, and supplies in exchange for an animal drawing of their beloved pet. He knows each of his models by name and often meets them when the painting is finished. He paints based on pets’ photos and is always interested in how owners met their furry family members. Pavel is deeply touched by the heartwarming stories of pets rescued from the cold streets and this is probably what makes up for all his efforts.

    This brave social initiative has already spread beyond Arzamas city. Animal lovers from all over Russia and even abroad want to have the portraits of their pets made while taking part in a charitable mission. Artwork made by Pavel’s kind paintbrush has traveled to Spain, Germany and more to come.

    Pavel is the youngest volunteer of the only animal shelter in Arzamas that currently houses over 100 dogs. In exchange for his paintings, he asks for food, household supplies, accessories, depending on what the shelter needs at that particular moment.

    “Our family is proud of his wonderful project. His days are scheduled to minutes, he wants to do absolutely everything, there is just not enough time,” the boy’s mother Ekaterina told Bored Panda. Pavel dreams of becoming an architect and building a big shelter in the future, and for now – he will contribute as much as he can with his art and humane initiatives.

    I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world.

    My name is Violeta and I am an editor here at Bored Panda. I love reading memes for a living. It’s obviously much more than that, but I appreciate the variety of topics, information, and pics I get to see every day and share with the world! Those funny memes really make my day too. Being born in the ’90s in post-Soviet Lithuania speaks more about me than I’d like to admit. I’m still learning about the world and myself, but I do love my friends, traveling, art, and my cat. My favorite fact to share about myself is that I used to hide meatballs in my friend’s pockets at lunch so I could go play outside. I wish all those meatballs could find their way back to me someday.

    Seriously, though, what person of any age can paint multiple pictures, even resting their hand on one in progress, and not get the slightest bit of paint on their self? If this 9-year-old is actually creating these by himself, and I'm not saying he's not, then it would behoove his parents to make at least one unedited video of him painting one from start to finish. Even the likes of Mozart was verified independently more than once. The outlines and proportions, perspectives, and lighting just seem a little too accurate for someone his age. Plus, I don't really know how to explain it, but the paintings look like they were done by a female.

    Boy, people believe things so fast. Is there any proof (like a video of HIM painting) that this is actually real and there’s not a guy behind those drawings painting them? And if you say “but there are photos of him drawiNgGgg” let me say you that someone can just tell the kid “grab this brush and this thing and make like you are just painting over this drawing I’ve made”

This boy has a gift straight from God, and he is putting it toward God's most vulnerable, animals, so they are no longer on the streets and hopefully will have their forever home one day. I just cannot say enough about this handsome and kind little boy, he is truly amazing, and his paintings are unbelievable. They look like photographs, but better! God bless you and your mother for putting you God given talent to a great cause!

    The paint is wet, or at least there's some on the brush (strangely all the pictures seem to be complete already), and he's even resting his hand on one. Not a spot of pigment on his hands or clothing, though. That's pretty damned precise.

We were children once . . . we should pay attention to what happens to us as we become adults--why don't we have and creativity and fresh ideas anymore? What keeps us from solving problems? Pavel is a piece of awesome . . . hope he can save his creativity as he ages

    You know what they say. That hero comes in all shapes, age and forms. That little boy has pot of GOLD for heart. Also. Animals knows how to reciprocate and return favour in the most amazing way. You must all remember that amazing CookerSpaniel name "HONEY" she was with her master driving on a highway, when suddenly unforseen accident occurred. The driver was way down the ditch and hanging upside down. What that amazing Dog Honey did, shook everyone in an amazing and shocking fashion. This Dog Honey ran and ran and ran. Until she found civilization. She came upon group of people, and began barking and turning around and running fir few frets in the same direction and giving those people signal that they must follow her. And those amazing angles did just that. That amazing Dog Honey, took those folks to the scene of accident and what they saw surprises them and they baffled to realise how clever that Dog, Honey was. They immediately got to action and free that man that was being tangled

    Seriously, though, what person of any age can paint multiple pictures, even resting their hand on one in progress, and not get the slightest bit of paint on their self? If this 9-year-old is actually creating these by himself, and I'm not saying he's not, then it would behoove his parents to make at least one unedited video of him painting one from start to finish. Even the likes of Mozart was verified independently more than once. The outlines and proportions, perspectives, and lighting just seem a little too accurate for someone his age. Plus, I don't really know how to explain it, but the paintings look like they were done by a female.

    Ok, I'm not saying reincarnation is real, but either he is possessed by a famous artist, or it IS real. I mean, he's clearly rocking the mind of someone at least 3 times his age.

    What a wonderful talent but it is not just the talent is it the heart and soul that goes into each portrait and for the reasons he does them. He is amazing. He will be someone to watch as he grows up. Keep it up little one you are doing wonderful work.

    no offence, but i'm skeptical. donating to dogs is wonderful, but i don't think this kid really has any paint under nails. mom may be the painter

    The paint is wet, or at least there's some on the brush (strangely all the pictures seem to be complete already), and he's even resting his hand on one. Not a spot of pigment on his hands or clothing, though. That's pretty damned precise.

    How in the hell can a 9 YEAR OLD draw so well?! I'm not artistic, is it common for such young children to have the ability to draw so well at such a young age.

    Christy, it is not common for children to draw or paint this well at 9. Pavel may be a savant (genius in a particular skill).

    Yes, our local cat shelter invites people to visit because it helps socialize the kitties. No pressure to adopt, clean litterboxes or anything.

    "Children come up with the most brilliant ways to solve problems that adults often fail at." We were children once . . . we should pay attention to what happens to us as we become adults--why don't we have and creativity and fresh ideas anymore? What keeps us from solving problems? Pavel is a piece of awesome . . . hope he can save his creativity as he ages

    A beautiful story about a beautiful young boy with amazing talent and heart full of compassion! His artwork is so good, he should have someone set up a website and auction them off around the world . . . as he tells the story of what his work, kindness and the monies do for the poor animals in shelters!

    Perhaps he charges what they can pay, but off hand I'd say he under-values his work. If he was able to expand outside his city .... but then it might not be the same.

    You know what they say. That hero comes in all shapes, age and forms. That little boy has pot of GOLD for heart. Also. Animals knows how to reciprocate and return favour in the most amazing way. You must all remember that amazing CookerSpaniel name "HONEY" she was with her master driving on a highway, when suddenly unforseen accident occurred. The driver was way down the ditch and hanging upside down. What that amazing Dog Honey did, shook everyone in an amazing and shocking fashion. This Dog Honey ran and ran and ran. Until she found civilization. She came upon group of people, and began barking and turning around and running fir few frets in the same direction and giving those people signal that they must follow her. And those amazing angles did just that. That amazing Dog Honey, took those folks to the scene of accident and what they saw surprises them and they baffled to realise how clever that Dog, Honey was. They immediately got to action and free that man that was being tangled

    Not buying it. Where are the videos of him painting those? He'd make bank with a YT channel and yet nothing exists. I say mom or dad is behind the paintings.
