"To be a good sand artist, you not only have to know how to draw, but you also need a circus artist's skills," he says.
It took Gonzalez a long tine to draw, create puppets and rehearse with the musicians for the show.
"I try to understand sand as if it is my mind," says Gonzalez. "It first seemed difficult to do drawings with sand, but that did not scare me. In fact, my reaction was quite the opposite. I was excited and I worked with passion."
