]]>M’BricK stacks LEGOs, both horizontally and vertically, on a flat surface to create “paintings”. When looking from a distance, his works look like they have been painted with traditional paints in a unique, almost pixelated style. But observing them closer reveals their complexity.
Every brick, ranging from bigger to smaller pieces and even LEGO figurines, imitates the stroke of a brush, coming together to form images of cars, fashion items like watches and sneakers, logos, and even portraits of celebrities like Michael Jordan, Bruce Springsteen, and Daft Punk.
When finished, these LEGO paintings are then framed and signed like traditional artworks. As such, M’BricK’s works are exhibited in galleries in his native France and have also been popular among art collectors.
“I am a former professional sportsman turned artist who expresses himself mainly through a game that rocked our childhood, and that of several generations, I think each of us, had some in our hands: LEGO,” M’BricK shares on his website, where he also makes his works available for purchase.

]]>The item was donated to a Goodwill store in Du Bois, Pennsylvania in February as part of a jewelry collection. Initially, the store listed it for $14.95 on its online shop but quickly realized its mistake when a flurry of offers started coming in.
After further research, the staff discovered the LEGO piece was actually a limited-edition Kanohi Hau mask, made out of 14-karat gold, from the discontinued line of LEGO toys called Bionicle. The piece was released in 2001 as part of a giveaway campaign, and only 30 of them are in existence.
Upon finding out the real value of the item, Goodwill placed it on auction, which attracted a bid of $33,000. However, the highest bidder was unable to complete the purchase, and it went to another bidder, who offered $18,101. The funds collected from the sale will now go to support Goodwill’s mission of providing “job training, employment placement services, and other community-based programs for people who face barriers in their employment.”
Bionicle was a line of construction toys that featured an original story that was told through book series, video games, and animated movies. The toys were produced between 2001 and 2010 before being discontinued despite a large popularity. LEGO later rebooted Bionicle in 2015 and 2023.
In the world of Bionicle, the Kanohi Hau mask is an item that protects wearers from all attacks they “are aware of but not from attacks that come from ambush or mental powers.”

]]>Bolcato creates his paintings with the oil on canvas technique. He transfers all the recognizable features of famous artwork to his piece but gives them a makeover that you would usually see in LEGO sets. The subjects have all the elements of LEGO figurines, including the characteristic yellow color and brick-like shape.
The list of famous paintings that received Bolcato’s LEGO-makeover includes Caravaggio’s Medusa, Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, and René Magritte’s The Song of Man.
“I like to explore and imagine figures in portraits as toys, which has never been seen before,” he shared in a recent interview. “It’s a meeting between the classic and contemporary worlds.”
Bolcato’s works, which he refers to as “interesting and funny creative study,” have been quite popular among art enthusiasts. He had the opportunity to exhibit them in various galleries in Italy but also across Europe and the United States.
The artist also regularly updates his social media pages with his newest LEGO paintings. You can visit his Instagram profile or continue scrolling to check out more of them.

]]>Nimako has been getting crafty with LEGOs since childhood, so exploring the artistic side of the plastic bricks came naturally to him. After getting a formal art education and gaining experience in multidisciplinary art, Nimako developed a unique style that is now recognizable worldwide.
“My art practice developed when I was four years old, as I constantly told myself I want to do this (play with LEGO) forever,” said the artist in a recent interview.
While Nimako used colorful LEGO bricks at the beginning, he has been working solely with black LEGOs in recent years. According to him, this way, he can “mute” the toy aspect of the LEGO and present it as an art medium.
Nimako’s sculptures can be made out of hundreds of thousands of LEGO bricks and can take anywhere from 50 hours to 1000 hours to make.
Aside from being a recognized artist, Nimako is also an accomplished author. In 2017, he published the book “Beasts from Bricks”, which serves as a guide for building animals using Legos.

]]>Sawaya is an ex-lawyer who “took the leap of faith” and became an artist. More specifically, a brick artist. Yes, that’s correct. Sawaya found an incredibly smart way to use LEGO bricks to create breath-taking sculptures.
“I like using LEGO bricks because they let me create anything I can imagine. They are a great medium for art because I can use them to build countless ideas,” the artist explained in an interview with Nuvo website.
So far, this talented man has created many original artworks, but he also recreated some famous works of art like Vincent van Gogh’s “Starry Night” or Michelangelo’s “David”. His exhibition “The Art of the Brick” is rated as one of the must-see events and is perfect for both kids and adults.
“As an artist, I want to elevate this simple childhood toy to a place it has never been before: into the fine art galleries and museums. I appreciate the cleanliness of the LEGO brick. The right angles. The distinct lines. As so often in life, it is a matter of perspective.“
