Zand.

Sand—an element everyone knows. It’s most often associated with beaches, deserts, or construction materials found at the hardware store. Yet, this everyday substance serves as a remarkable artistic medium. With the right type of sand, the possibilities for creating diverse and intricate sculptures are virtually limitless.

The art of sand sculpting is characterized by several unique and appealing aspects:

  • The natural element: A sculpture requires only sand and water—simple and pure.
  • Creativity: Turning raw material into meaningful forms that convey a story or message.
  • Craftsmanship: In an age dominated by digital tools, there’s unparalleled value in traditional, hands-on artistry.
  • Ephemerality: Sand sculptures are temporary by nature, leaving behind only memories that are often more beautiful than the sculptures themselves.
  • Sustainability: Sand is perfectly recyclable, ready to be used again for new creations.

Over the years, this art form has been showcased in countless locations, resulting in a diverse portfolio of works. Below is a selection of some of the most notable pieces made by Maxim Gazendam.
