There are 4 thousand bricks that reproduce the masterpiece of the great Austrian artist, with expected dimensions of (60 x 54) cm: in the end we will have a real painting to hang, as with other famous sets in the Lego Art series.
Recreating Klimt’s Kiss with LEGO bricks was a unique creative challenge, requiring us to capture its rich textures, golden hues and intricate details, while remaining faithful to the original masterpiece – explains Milan Madge, Master Model Designer of the LEGO Group – By combining golden LEGO elements with specially decorated pieces, we were able to recreate the distinctive nuances and textures of the work, in a building experience that celebrates its extraordinary beauty
