Sand Paintings

Posted by on

With a rake as his only tool, San Francisco based artist Andreas Amador creates large scale sand paintings primarily on beaches along the California coast. Andreas usually waits for a full moon to make sure the ocean’s tides are low enough for him to complete his designs before they’re permanently washed away. Honestly beautiful.

    These really are fantastic. I have a lot of respect for an artist who isn’t afraid to create something knowing that in its very nature is not permanent… I could never do that!
    If I ever showed up to a beach strewn with these beauties, I don’t think I could stand walking over these!

    How fantastic! It’s like a coastal crop circle, but better.

    Wow! Those works are amazing! I wonder how he did that? I can barely make a decent drawing in paper (small scale), how much more in a huge coast?
