# Artist Uses Swiss Mountain Slopes to Create Two Giant Paintings

On the mountain slopes of the Swiss village of Villar-sur-Ollon, an artist used chalk and charcoal to create two giant paintings of children depicting how they see the vast world around them. The paintings, made by Swiss-French artist Saype, were drawn directly onto the grass and could last for days depending on the weather conditions. They portray a boy and a girl attempting to draw the mountains, trees, stars, and the moon. Saype stated that his artworks cover an area of three thousand square meters and can be seen from the mountain peak and nearby pastures, symbolizing the need to adopt different perspectives and reject stagnation. He added, "The children are at different altitudes, and therefore they are drawing different things. Although they are at different heights, they are creating worlds that complement each other." Saype is known for his "Beyond Walls" series, in which he painted giant hands interlocking on the ground in various cities around the world, including Berlin, Paris, Istanbul, and Cape Town.
