Swiss mountains become giant canvas for artist SAYPE

On the mountain slopes in the Swiss village of Villars-sur-Ollon, visual artist SAYPE has used chalk and charcoal to paint two giant frescos of children sketching how they see the vast world around them. The frescos, which are painted directly on the grass and can last days (depending on weather conditions), show a young boy and girl tracing squiggly lines on sketchpads to depict mountains, stars, trees and the moon. The Swiss-French artist said his frescos — which at around 3,000 square metres can be seen from the mountaintop and nearby pastures — symbolize the need to reject uniformity and embrace different perspectives. SAYPE is mostly known for his “Beyond Walls“ series in which he has spray-paint giant hands clasping each other on the ground in different cities around the world, including Berlin, Paris, Istanbul and Cape Town.
