 Sculptures
In The Sand
On the beach at Corralejo, yes the little one near the pier and
in front of the restaurants, you will find a guy working with
the sand, keeping guard over his charges, continually working
and reworking his efforts, adding eyes to an elephant, or
modesty to a mermaid, and as dusk falls, candles which serve
not only to illuminate, but enhance each masterpiece, befitting
his pensive nature, and affording admirers of his work a moment
for quiet reflection.
His name is Alexander Savechenko, and he has been on our shared
planet for 46 summers.
Adding to the cosmopolitan potpourri that is Fuerteventura,
Alexander hails from Latvia, first arriving on Fuerteventura in
1999 although he has island hopped around the archipelago since
then, and cites having an aunt on the peninsula, as his initial
reason for heading west from his native land.
Sculpture has always been his first love, and although
effectively now a hobby, it has been a subject of formal study
in his past.
So the next time you are out for a stroll along the prom in
Corralejo, look out for Alexander and his work, you wont be
disappointed.
