Bastarrika
has been entertaining beach-goers in his native Basque Country region for
almost a decade now,
the
Basque artist reportedly
started experimenting with sand sculptures in 2010, as a way of
entertaining children when going to the beach. The feedback was so positive
that he started focusing on this newly discovered art form more, developing his
own techniques as he progressed. Before he knew it, he had made a name for
himself as a sand sculptor and even supplementing his summer income,
Bastarrika
mostly uses his own hands to shape sand sculptures, but when it comes to fine details, he uses
simple tools like a brush, small sticks and toothpicks, to add another layer of realism, the artist sometimes uses various accessories, like the horns and hooves on his now famous bull sculpture,
and here is the good news, apart from wowing beach-goers with his realistic-looking
sculptures, Andoni Bastarrika also hosts workshops where he teaches others the
secrets of sand sculpting, for more of Andoni’s sand sculptures,
check out his Instagram and Facebook pages, what a great way to spend a day at the beach, leaning how to
sand sculpture.
