“Paintings” on a snow-covered soccer field. This beautiful idea was created by janitor Maxim Pechenkin in Nizhny Novgorod. Now, art can be literally seen from the window!

A girl's profile, an eye, a dragon, a man under a blanket. Maxim Pechenkin creates these pictures with the help of just an ordinary broom and shovel. Wide lines he makes with a scraper. He navigates with the help of the lines on the soccer field, which can still be seen through the fresh snow.

Maxim considers his most satisfying image to be a man under a blanket. "It's like this field was made for him!"

But, unlike paper, snow drawings don't last long: an hour or two and it's time to clean the soccer field for the next game." The one that lasted the longest was the drawing of an eye. It spent the night. I came then [the next morning] and added eyelashes," says Maxim.

Maxim says he just likes to draw and, in his free time, he does it on paper. "It's also something amazing for me, every time you don't know how it will come out."

He jokingly calls his snow artwork "hooliganism". And his neighbors eagerly await his next works.
