They are famous masterpieces as you have never seen them before - made entirely from Lego.


Artist Peter Laven, 27, has recreated distinctive works of art using thousands of the tiny plastic toy pieces to make everything from The Mona Lisa to The Scream.


His other famous masterpieces include Vermeer's 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' and 'The Milkmaid' as well as distinctive Japanese work 'The Great Wave'.

Peter, who comes from Texas and uses the artist name Morphy, said: 'Lego bricks are the only paint I need.

'For practical and aesthetic reasons I limit myself to a maximum of 24 colors per mosaic and 128 studs in either direction - sometimes less is more.


 

'I don't modify the Lego bricks in any way. A mischievous person could pull the bricks off to build something else if they so desired.'


He glues baseplates onto plywood and then fixes the Lego bricks on, exactly as they come in the packet.

But with every lego stud costing between 30 and 50 cents, even the smallest works are for sale for $125.


'It takes about three weeks to put together one piece. My design process is rather slow and I place every piece by hand.

'I'm also someone who pays attention to things so I even make sure that all the logos are facing the same way.'
