FIESA is a mega exhibition of sand sculptures held since 2003 in Pera, Algarve. This year's instalment, is entitled 'The Living World'. More than 45 talented artists had 35,000 tonnes of sand at their disposal to create temporary masterpieces. This one is dedicated to Egyptian Deities. As you know many gods in Ancient Egypt were depicted with a human body and the head of an animal, or simply as animals that symbolized qualities attributed to the gods. BASTET, goddess of fertility and happiness was represented as a cat wearing a necklace, as you can see in this sculpture or as a woman with the head of a cat – an animal which was revered and considered sacred.

Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance?
I have seen emails over the years of many sand sculptures Antonio, but this is the first I have known where it was and this much information about it. Excellent work.

Stunning capture of these gorgeous sand art figures. Nice clarity and details in your photo, Antonio. Lovely sharp colours.

Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick.

Antonio - This must be viewed full size to fully appreciate the detailed sand carving that you have so wonderfully captured. Excellent work (both you and the sand artists). Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine

For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
