Portfolio / Artist CV

A professional overview of Brickasso (Albert Oprea): biography, highlights, exhibitions & press, artist statement, technical notes, and how to commission or collect a one-of-one LEGO® artwork.

Short Bio

Albert Oprea (b. 2015), working under the moniker Brickasso, treats the LEGO® brick as a calibrated unit of time, color, and intention. Working entirely by hand, he designs, sorts, and sets tens of thousands of elements to compose one-of-one mosaics whose precision belies their playful origin. His subjects span horology, equine figures, and re-readings of canonical images—approached not as copies, but as translations into a new visual grammar. Each work is signed, catalogued in the BRK Registry, and issued with a QR-linked Certificate of Authenticity. Based in Romania with a global outlook, he builds a body of work oriented toward the most demanding international platforms.

Highlights

  • The White Horse — the first signed work (18,322 LEGO® pieces), a symbol of beginnings and creative force.
  • Rolex Series — Hulk, Daytona, Pepsi: contemporary interpretations of iconic timepieces, rebuilt in LEGO®, bridging watchmaking and visual art.
  • Girl at the Mirror — an homage to Picasso, through a new visual alphabet. Not for sale, kept as an artistic meditation on dialogue between masters and the new generation.
  • All works are one-of-one originals, hand-placed, signed and catalogued.

Exhibitions & Press

Brickasso’s works are envisioned for the international stage, with the ambition of one day standing alongside contemporary art at the highest level. His portfolio is prepared for invitations to major art fairs and galleries, from Basel to beyond.

Media features and press interest are welcomed as his journey unfolds — each article, review, or exhibition marking a new chapter in the transformation of play into authentic creation.

Artist Statement

“Each LEGO® brick is a unit of time, patience, and dream. Through them, I build not only images but bridges between worlds: childhood and mastery, the ephemeral and the eternal, reality and imagination. My art is not about LEGO®, but about what LEGO® can become when allowed to speak the language of great works.”

Collecting & Commissions

Every Brickasso artwork is unique, signed, and catalogued in the official registry. Personalized commissions are possible, with carefully selected subjects—portraits, watches, animals—always respecting the principle of uniqueness and the laborious brick-by-brick process. The final work becomes a dialogue between the collector’s vision and the artist’s irreproducible signature.
