Jamie Wardley: Tremendous Sand Drawings

By Elisa 11

Accustomed to create small sand sculptures or buildings, the British sand sculptor Jamie Wardley has recently chosen a different expression: painting the giant sand drawings which can only view fully from the above. In the other words, Jamie Wardley turns beaches into oil paintings by his talented and tries his best to send important messages through his giant sand drawings.


Jamie first came into the world of sand sculpting when being a young boy on a trip in Norway. At that time, he met a sand sculptor who succeeded in transforming two sand blocks into The Queen and Mr. Bean during just some hours. Jamie has such impressive talent that he started asking all questions in his mind about his art. He tentatively went towards the sand and took a tool in each hand, and began working on his very first sculpture. The Sand Sculptor checked up on him from time to time and gave a few tips here and there. After that he said: “I’m very impressed with what you’ve done. I think that you could become a very good sand sculptor one day. If you are ever in Norway again and would like to practice in my studio in Oslo, then just give me a call.” As a result, the young British started making ice sculptures and impressive sand drawings, and now he’s one of the world’s most famous beach artists in the world.

For this sand sculptor, "Time is a big challenge when you’re working on a beach." explains the 32-year-old from Bradford. "You have about six hours from when the tide has gone out before it comes back in again.” Moreover, losing his work because the tide is impossible to avoid of a sand artist. "I don’t mind it when they disappear, that’s all part of it." says Jamie.
