A Russian painter congratulated famous football player Cristiano Ronaldo on his winning the 2016 Ballon d'Or by painting his portrait in her unique technique – with her breasts.

Saint Petersburg-based painter Irina Romanovskaya congratulated Ronaldo on Instagram. “I want to congratulate Ronaldo on winning the Ballon d'Or and wish him many more interesting games. I think every football player dreams of having such a career.

Congratulations! The portrait was painted with my breasts in my favorite color — violet,” she wrote.

The 31-year-old Portugal and Real Madrid forward won the fourth Ballon d'Or ("Golden Ball") football award of his career on December 12.

In the past Romanovskaya has painted portraits of Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Barak Obama, football player Lionel Messi, actor Leonardo DiCaprio and other celebrities using her signature breast-painting technique.
