Insanely Realistic Sand Sculptures Of Animals (35 Pics)

Artist Andoni Bastarrika creates some pretty spectacular animal sculptures completely made of sand! 

He began his artistic journey in the summer of 2010, while being on the beach with his two daughters. He made a little mermaid out of sand and has since devoted himself to the art of sand sculpturing. He's spent 10 years developing this gift and the work shared from him just goes to show how talented he is and how far he's come. 

Some of his pieces are very thought-provoking and making a statement about plastic use and sea life dying due to it. Follow his Instagram account to see all the latest updates and new sculptures!
