Sculptor

BIOGRAPHY

Bob Atisso is the Togolese sand sculptor with golden hands and a strong artistic imprint. Ephemeral creations are his specialty. An art form which translates the meaning of life. The secret of his sculptors comes from the field of physics.

​

He discovered his passion after 2000. His art was not well known in his country, so Bob left to test his talent to other artists of the same kind at the ephemeral festivals in the US, Europe, Asia and Russia. His creations have clearly drawn attention. Over the past years Bob Atisso has won the Public Award in India, the 2nd Prize at World Sand Sculpting  championship in Taiwan, the 1st place of the mayor of Copenhagen, 2nd at the Sentosa Sandsation in Singapore and the list continues...

Words are not strong enough to describe the works of Bob. Extremely precise, it often happens that one wonders how such monu-ments can be built with almost exclusively bare hands and sand as only material. In his work, he masterfully presents African customs and habits or challenge on current events or social issues that poetically lead to reflection and make the specificity of the genius of this sculptor architect.

His specialty is sand sculpture, but he also excels with other materials, such as papier-mâché, terracotta or cement.

His next dream is to create a sand sculpture school in Africa ...
