Ses œuvres poétiques et éphémères voyagent à travers le monde pour impacter les mentalités dans le respect de la nature.

Using 100% biodegradable paint composed of water, chalk, coal and casein, Saype’s ephemeral land artwork disappears after a month due to regrowth of the grass it is painted upon, the weather and the passage of visitors. With each project he completes, his recognition grows, capturing the attention of those on social media as well as landing extensive global media coverage. Career highlight for Saype have included gaining thanks from the Swiss President, Doris Leuthard, for the social vision of his art, in 2017, and following that in 2018, the publication of his book, ‘Green Art’, which highlights the innovative qualities of the biodegradable paint Saype has created.

This Overview shows a deforested area of Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Since the mid-1980s, resettlement of people from the high plains of the Andes Mountains and a corresponding agricultural development effort known as the Tierras Bajas project has led to utter deforestation in this region. The pinwheel-patterned fields follow the San Javier resettlement scheme, with each pinwheel containing a central community that includes a church, bar/café, school, and soccer field. The light-colored areas of the formations are primarily fields of soybeans, and the dark lines running through the fields are “windbreaks” that prevent the erosion of the area’s unusually fine soil.
