Nathan Sawaya is a full time freelance artist who uses legos as his medium
for his artwork. He was born in Colville, Washington, but grew up in Veneta,
Oregon. Growing up, Sawaya loved toys (Lego) and always had an artistic eye due
to the fact that he loved to create stories, and drew cartoons. It was after he
graduated from NYU to become a lawyer, that he re-discovered LEGO. However, this
soon become a medium for his future artwork and ultimately his lifestyle. His
studio is composed of more than 1.5 milllion bricks of LEGOS. His art is viewed
as both beautiful and playful as well as obsessive and magnificiently crafted.
Sawaya's art is shaped in 3-dimensional sculptures and oversized portraits.
