"I love color, I love paints, I love painting. I experimented with watercolors, oils, and pastels, but I was not satisfied with these tools. But suddenly I came up with the idea of dry, granular" paints ". This is the perfect tool for painting! ", - says the Japanese artist Ako Tsubaki about his unusual work. Probably, it originates in Buddhist monasteries, where from time immemorial, incredible in their beauty Tibetan mandalas, pictures of colored crushed marble have been painted. True, Ako Tsubaki creates his paintings of colored sand … Ako Tsubaki is called a wonderful artist with a vivid and vivid imagination, which is quite obvious from her paintings. The process behind the creation of these paintings is quite simple: "I smear the canvas with glue and sprinkle it with sand as it was intended. Sometimes I outline the contours of the future painting, and sometimes what I get is a complete impromptu", says the artist.
Drawing with sand is somewhat like a child's play in a sandbox or on the seashore. Pouring sand from hand to hand also soothes, and even more so if this sand is colored - it's even more interesting. Ako Tsubaki believes that the huge advantage of this painting is that the colors, when mixed, are very clean, holistic, and almost always it is possible to avoid dirty shades, as sometimes happens when you mix oil or watercolors.
In addition to horizontal 2D paintings, Ako Tsubaki also paints three-dimensional masterpieces, filling glasses, pots and vases with sand. The process of creating a 3D painting from colored sand can be seen in the video, and a gallery of 2D sand art can be seen on Ako Tsubaki's personal page.
