LEGO is universal. So many people enjoy it, from all different walks of life, all different ages, all different cultures. When I was in Africa, I had LEGO bricks with me and I met some people who had never heard of LEGO, they had never seen it before and yet as soon as I gave them a few bricks, they immediately got it.

Nathan SawayaI like using LEGO bricks as a medium because I enjoy seeing peopleโs reaction to artwork created from something with which they are familiar. โฆMy goal is to elevate this simple plaything to a place it has never been before. I also appreciate the cleanliness of the LEGOยฎ brick. The right angles. The distinct lines. But, from a distance, those right angles and distinct lines offer new perspectives, changing to curves.
Nathan SawayaOver the years I have learned that creating art has made me happy. I used to be a lawyer and I'm much happier being an artist.
Nathan SawayaOne of the reasons I love using LEGO bricks is because it makes the art very relatable and accessible; folks can connect with the art almost on a different level because they have played with it or their kids have played with it.
