Have you heard of Sudarsan Patnaik, if not read about him on Wikiepdia. He is a World Famous Sand sculptorer, born in Puri in the state of Orissa.

He was inspired by the voice of his inner soul and he started visiting the sea beach at Puri every day since his childhood days. Slowly he started carving out different faces of gods and goddesses in sand with his imagination and creativity. Initially the forms were not mature as he had no Guru because sand art is not considered as a professional form of art in our Country. Despite these limitations he pursued in his endeavor as he considered the creativity in him is God gifted ability. He took up the challenge to popularize sand art as a professional art form and started exhibiting sand art at various places in India.

His ultimate objective is to create awareness and enthusiasm among the people and make it popular professional art form among the people for which he is traveling various places in the country and demonstrating this art form by holding work shops and training.

Mr. Sudarshan Patnaik has established “The Golden Sand Art Institute” which is first of it’s kind in the country.
