Born in Turin some 56 years ago, Marco Pece is an italian photographer with a fascination with Lego. An art lover himself, his recent work recreates famous paintings in perfect detail, using the ubiquitous bricks. After long hours "playing" with the bricks, the final artwork is a fabulous photograph.
"I love to reconstruct celebrated paintings of the past, photos of great authors or movie scenes" explained Marco to Oddee, when contacted this sunday. "I'm a lover of the art in its multiple expressions, from the more ancient shapes to those most modern ones."
