An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one.

Some artists use paint, others bronze – But for Nathan Sawaya he chooses to build his awe-inspiring art out of toy building blocks. LEGO® bricks to be exact.
Artist Nathan Sawaya with his creation
With more than 1.5 million colored bricks in his New York studio, Sawaya’s sculptures take many forms.
He had exhibited in almost all the prominent cities around the world.
LEGO, as in the plastic children's toy that has become ubiquitous since it was introduced more than half a century ago. For the past ten years, LEGO has been the medium of choice for lawyer-turned-artist Sawaya, who used nearly a million of the little interlocking bricks for the pieces that make up this crowd-pleasing traveling exhibition. Fun is indeed the operative word here -- there's little hope for you if you can't appreciate the ingenuity, not to mention the sheer exuberance, of Sawaya's creations.
