To commemorate the 15th anniversary of the Nuart Festival in Stavanger, Norway, French artists Ella & Pitr have completed the world's largest mural. The 21,000-square-meter mural, painted on the rooftop of Block Berge Bygg in Klepp, Rogaland, was completed in an astonishing four days with the help of volunteers. The mural was officially unveiled at 4:00 PM local time on September 4th. The title of the mural is "Lilith and Olaf." It depicts a woman lying down with a doll falling from her hand. The woman appears to represent Lilith, and the doll is Olaf. Olaf is Olaf I, who is said to have been king of Norway from 995 to 1000 AD. There is evidence that Olaf's birthplace was a small island in a pond near the building where the mural is painted.
This work is so large that how can you see it in its entirety? Apparently, you can enjoy it from planes taking off and landing at Stavanger Sola Airport. The work is expected to become a new landmark for Rogaland, and the airport control tower and pilots have been so enthusiastic about it that they have been instructed to change flight routes to give passengers a better view of the work. The drone footage, which was posted on YouTube at the end of August, is also a must-see. The Nuart Festival just began on September 5th, and works by artists from all over the world are scheduled to be unveiled one after another throughout the city.
