Playing with the dunes

Spanish painter Borja Gonzalez will make his debut in China at the ongoing 17th Meet in Beijing Arts Festival with a rare show. Chen Nan reports.

One day about 12 years ago, Spanish painter Borja Gonzalez found a video of an artist doing drawings with sand. It was love at first sight.

"I discovered that drawing with sand is magical. Seeing how drawings are created, then transformed into stories hypnotizes you," says Gonzalez, 39.
