I 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 SawayaArt makes better humans, art is necessary in understanding the world and art makes people happy. Undeniably, art is not optional.

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 SawayaWhen people go to museums and see a sculpture made out of marble, they appreciate it but it's very doubtful that they will go home and have a slab of marble they can chip away at, but people do have LEGO. I don't have any LEGO specially made for me, all of the shapes, sizes and colours I use are available in stores so that if someone is inspired to create on their own, they can go and buy the very same bricks.
