USA brilliant artist Andrew Clemens (1857 – 1894) was created amazing intricate art using tiny grains of colored sand, with tools and techniques that were way ahead of his time. Clemens was completely deaf and nearly mute for most of his life, but he managed to nurture his passion and make hundreds of bottles of beautiful sand art.
Clemens started made his artwork used the colored sand to create geometric shapes and patterns. Then he began to create extraordinarily detailed images, with a high level of intricacy that you wouldn't expect to be possible by hand. His technique was brilliant – he relied on the pressure of the tightly packed grains to keep his handiwork intact.
