PinoyLUG's Project AMORsolo - Dalagang Bukid

This LEGO® bricks mosaic was executed by an all-female team from PinoyLUG. Inspired by Amorsolo’s idea of a beautiful Filipina – one with a “rounded face, exceptionally lively eyes, and clear skin like that of a blushing girl”. The mosaic is a reflection of what a Filipino woman can bring to our homes with her free spirit and joyful demeanor. Amorsolo iterated his painting several times through different generations and now, PinoyLUG has turned it into a bricks mosaic for the LEGO® generation.
