A man, a rake, a beach...

Meet Andre Amador.
He's an artist and his medium is a sandy beach.
His artwork is intricate, but can exceed 100,000 square feet.
He uses a rake to create art that will disappear when the tide comes in.

Here he is, working on a beach in California.

He uses a rope as a guide to lay out these geometric patterns.

He rakes up sand at low tide, to create contrasting sand colors.

Sometimes he helps people propose.

He says it usually takes a few hours to create his sand paintings.

Once the tide comes back in, they are gone forever.
