These are great. Amazing stuff!
Remarkable artwork.
The sheer beauty of everyone of these bought a tear to my eyes! Artist! Aren’t they amazing!?
Amazing work ^^
Lovely sculptures! One slight error though: one of the images has the caption “This sculpture is full of Egyptian symbols”, but judging on the step pyramid in the background I’d say it was Aztec not Egyptian :)
Or possibly Incan… They are very similar tbh, I guess it depends on the symbolism in the foreground as to whether it’s Aztec or Incan. I’m far from an expert :s
That’s right! Its Anahuak 100%!
Amazing! We have a sand sculpting festival here in November. Looking at these got me all jazzed up for it! Thanks!
Wow! hard to believe those are all sand
Very nice. Thanks.
As a sand sculptor myself, I would be very interested to see which of these were constructed with only water and sand.
Some contests allow underlying structures, the use of hairspray to retain the intricate carving, etc. Also, the use of refined sand vs beach sand makes a big difference in what kind of detail can be maintained in the sun.
Nice, I like sand sculptures!
So impressive sand sculptures!
Wish I could see them myself.
Should be made with something more long term than sand. Its crazy to think of all the work that goes into them for them to only exsist for a short time.
tahts the beauty of it.

Awesome work..love it. The one titled”This classic sculpture looks amazing in sand” Is actually, Moses.
The Moses (c. 1513–1515) is a masterpiece of High Renaissance sculpture by the renowned artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, housed in the church of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome. The sculpture was commissioned in 1505 by Pope Julius II for his tomb. This famous work of art depicts the Biblical figure Moses with horns on his head, symbolic of wisdom and enlightenment.
So impressive sand sculptures!
Absolutely amazing, so beautiful and detailed, really can’t praise this work enough!
