French artist Sam's love of beaches transcends in this fun and creative sand art. He uses a rake to make larger-than-life images on sand, and the results are wild! From [abstract images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition) to quotes, the artist has made a lot of interesting works.
