Andres Amador's Murals in the Sand

The beauty
of Life's transience
is perhaps

At low tide, beach artist Andres Amador creates his spectacular masterpieces. If you visit the San Francisco coast frequently, you may have had the unique pleasure of catching a long glimpse of this artist's massive pieces of beach art.

"For Andres, his art is ʻmore about the process and less about the result.'"
