Swiss-French artist SAYPE said his frescos -- which at around 3,000 square metres (3,590 square yards) can be seen from the mountaintop and nearby pastures -- symbolize the need to reject uniformity and embrace different perspectives.
"The children are on different altitudes, so they are drawing different things," SAYPE said.
"Even if they are at different altitudes, the two worlds they are drawing complement each other."
