Ephemeral work of art by SAYPE

Watch the creation of the first mural [live](https://www.saype-artiste.com/live-villars).

If you haven't heard of Saype yet, here's some information about the artist:

In each of his works, Saype captures the fragility of our societies and the challenges we are all called upon to meet, using the monumental frescoes he creates on grass, earth, sand and snow around the world.

His frescoes, which are destined to fade away, are designed to have an impact on people's attitudes, while respecting nature. They are painted using an eco-responsible paint made up essentially of chalk and charcoal.
