If you live in San Francisco, California, then you may be lucky enough to come across the art of Andre Amador. He doesn’t paint or sculpt. He prefers a medium that is temporary but absolutely beautiful: a sandy beach at low tide. He uses a rake to create works of art that can be bigger than 100,000 sq. ft.
He spends hours creating these intricate masterpieces, knowing that the tide will soon come in and wash away his work forever.
For Andres, his art is
“more about the process and less about the result.”

While making his beach mural explorations,
he uses a rope as a guide so that
he can make the geometric patterns.

Consider yourself lucky if you happen to
stumble across one of his playa
paintings, because it won’t be there long.

Or even teaching others to create these
beachscapes as part of a team building exercise.

According to Andres, it only takes a couple

enough to create the designs.

Andres’ creations are simply stunning and knowing that these delicate creations are temporary somehow makes them even more beautiful.
