Abstract, artistic, and pixel perfect, self titled “peintre plasticien hacker bootleger” Oliver Arturo joins the ranks of not-quite-tile creators here at Diary of a Tile Addict.

His not-quite-tile medium of choice? Lego. From the bottom up, Arturo stacks each Lego brick to produce a variety of artworks from portraits to pop references, all capped with the classic studs that allow the bricks to snap together.

Intricately detailed recreations of the Mona Lisa, album covers, and cultural icons demonstrate his Lego mosaic skill whilst simpler designs like ‘Standing Man’, ‘Surfing’, and ‘Flower Power’ highlight his flair for whimsy.
