His Sand Sculptures Are Brilliant…
|
Even if you've built some killer sand castles in your day, odds are that you've never seen the work of Jara En - anything like the sand sculptures of Carl Jara.
Jara's work doesn't have turrets, mermaids, or fish, but it does depict otherworldly scenes (along with realistic recreations) that spark the imagination. The Cleveland-based sculptor and woodworker does that on purpose: His intention is to create things you would never normally see in a sand castle competition. His work is definitely unusual, not to mention totally impressive. See what Jara does with sand, patience, and a ton of talent, below.
Jara's sculptures are more about abstraction than creating things that reflect marine life.
He's earned nine World Championship metals for his sand sculptures, and it's not difficult to see why.
His work is incredibly unusual, and it's also a little subversive for your average sand castle competition.
His work is so smooth and refined that you almost forget that what you're looking at is sand, instead of wood or marble.
Jara studied fine art in college, but soon realized that design was not his strong suit. Instead, he wanted to create with his hands, and sand is the perfect medium.
The response to his work has been nothing but positive, and Jara has no plans to stop.
