Just four days before the Olympic Games’ opening ceremony in Rio de Janeiro, an Italian “land artist” has used his tractor to create a huge work of art depicting the Brazilian city’s Christ the Redeemer statue.
Dario Gambarin, from Verona in northern Italy, used the 40-year-old tractor to carve up 47,000 square metres of the field in Castagnaro. The image is a total of 180 metres in length, five times longer than the actual statue, and Christ is shown holding the five Olympic rings.
Gambarin has produced other notable works with his tractor, including portraits of former President of South Africa Nelson Mandela, U.S. President Barack Obama and Pope Francis.
