The themes of the author's work are for the most part folklore and genre scenes. Her preferred color palette is warm, and amber like in color. When Bogachova approaches the task of painting a new miniature, she tries to completely display the development of a theme in the artistic sense. Collectors love her work for its mood, and for its dynamic and flexible appearance.
The master was nominated to join the Artists' Union in 1974. Her best pieces' titles are "Scarlet Flower", "Mother, Why it is Dusty in the Field?", "Field, oh, you, Field!", "Separation", "Old Woman Izergil", and "The Sewing of Dowry".

When Bogachova is not working, she loves to take care of her plants in the garden, and she embroiders. Nina wishes good health and positive achievements in life to all of our internet viewers, and especially her numerous collectors.
