Cimon Swarovski is an Australian-born artist who never lost his child-like playfulness. Unlike other artists who sculpt with clay or bring any situation to life with paint, Cimon creates marvelous masterpieces using LEGO. Did I mention that it's studded LEGO?
Oh yes, the Australian native that is responsible for the dazzling crystallized motorbike model Paris Hilton received for her 30th birthday has worked his bedazzling magic once again on eighteen new sculptures for Hong Kong’s Landmark North. Some of them mirror real life historic buildings, such as the white house where as others are just beautiful places in the artist's mind that he brings to life.
The annual exhibit that takes place at the Landmark North shopping complex will be hosting Swarovski's sparkling pieces in tune with the holiday season. Nothing says Christmas like a little bling and a lot of LEGO.
