Artist Transforms Beachfronts Into Stunning Canvas With Massive Sand Drawings (40 Pics)

Who needs a sketchbook when you’ve got the entire beach? That seems to be the ethos of Jben, a maestro of sand art who’s been leaving his mark with impressive sand drawings since 2013.

Located in Royan on the French West coast, Jben utilizes a plethora of beaches as canvases for his signature Jben art. This form of beach art, akin to land art, is a theatrical dance against time. Artists like Jben have a mere four-hour window between tides to craft their awe-inspiring designs. The fleeting nature of their artistry, juxtaposed against the vast backdrop of the shore, leaves an indelible impact.

Dive into our curated collection of cool pictures from Jben’s sand art masterpieces. You’re in for a visual treat.
