LEGO creations also pay tribute to some of history's greatest works, such as Rodin's The Thinker, Venus de Milo, Mona Lisa (which required over 4,500 pieces for a 1:1 scale result),Hokusai 's Wave, Van Gogh' s Starry Night and Klimt's Kiss.

To create all these pieces, the artist has two workshops, one in New York and the other in Los Angeles: a veritable LEGO warehouse, where 4 million bricks are arranged in transparent boxes according to color, shape and size. He smiles and confides that he works "in theheart of a LEGO rainbow", and that he is one of the company's best customers.
