I am an artist who works with Lego.

Art history looks at art works and the people who have created them.

What I try to do is the art of building, and the art of building is the art of construction; it is not only about forms and shapes and images.

There can be nothing exclusive about substantial art. It comes directly out of the heart of the experience of life and thinking about life and living life.

Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture.

Art to me is an anecdote of the spirit, and the only means of making concrete the purpose of its varied quickness and stillness.

Art is not a treasure in the past or an importation from another land, but part of the present life of all living and creating peoples.

Art is all in the details.

I never called my work an 'art'. It's part of show business, the business of building entertainment.

I do hear from people at my exhibition about seeing these things made from this toy from their childhood, and it brings them back. They'll go and buy a set of Lego from the gift shop because of that nostalgia and seeing it at the art exhibition.
