Nathan Sawaya’s childhood was a lot of fun. He drew cartoons, wrote stories, and played with plastic toy bricks (积木). His grandparents bought his first set of toy bricks when he was five years old and he’s been building with toy bricks ever since. He even took his building bricks to college with him instead of books and a computer.
After he left the college, Nathan started as a lawyer first but soon stopped his highly—paid job to become an artist that uses toys in his art. He uses toy bricks to build everything from the Statue of Liberty (自由女神像) to Superman! He has more than 1.5 million colored bricks in his working room in New York which he uses to make pieces of art.
Nathan’s work has appeared in museums around the world. Children love his art because it is made out of the same toys that they play with at home and adults love his work because it is exciting. Since it began in 2007, Nathan’s exhibition “The Art of the Brick" has been very popular with museum visitors everywhere.
“I’m proud that I make my dream come true and what I would like to tell the young is that to do what you love in life is the most important thing.” says Nathan.
