Sudarsan Pattnaik is the inventor of sand art in India.

"I started sand sculpture when I was 7 to 8 years old because where I live, my house, is very near to the sea. At that time my family had some financial problems. I was always wishing to be able to draw something but everything was expensive for me, pencils, paper, and colors. Since I was always going to the beach, I thought maybe I could do something in sand without spending money. At that time it was very difficult to get even a single rupee for me. My family was struggling, my grandmother was earning only 5 dollars a month and we were 5 people that had to survive on that."

"Then I started these sand sculptures. I wanted to develop this art form. I was wondering, how could that be possible to use this art form to communicate with people?"
[link]
"For last two years, everywhere I heard about the issues of global warming and climate change, so I started working on these issues."

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.

Sand sculptures are temporary art forms and can last for 2 or 3 days. For huge sculptures, they can last up to 30 days depending on the climate and on the organizing way. If the sculptures are near to sea, they only last for a short time. But some can stay up to 3 months.

In 2012, he created 500 sand Santa Clauses on the beach of Puri in Odisha to create a new world record.

The sculptures were meant to spread awareness on environmental conservation.
[link]
“I have created at least 500 sand Santas along with a 38-foot-high image of Jesus, with the message ‘Go Green, Save Earth'.”
[link]
He used nearly 5,000 tonnes of sand and worked for around four days to complete the sculptures. He used colour sand to create images of Santa.

He has won prizes at international sand sculpture festivals around the world.
