“I want my art to tell a story and evoke a personal emotion an onlooker might have when faced with a childhood memory and the visual image portrayed.”
Using her preferred medium of Lego bricks, Krüger has completed close to 70 Lego artworks, some of which have been used in advertisement campaigns and magazines. Her inspiration for using this method evolved over time, from a simple set of classic bricks and a baseplate to the eye-catching portraits she now creates: “I enjoy the child-like nature of working with Lego bricks and the juxtaposition it creates between playing and using an expensive medium to create art.”
Krüger has mainly focused on recreating famous portraits that are well known. Recently she has shifted her attention to include more of the famous figures’ struggles, real life, and contemporary images.
