Meet DC's Lego Man
Richard Paules grew up in Washington, DC in the shadow of monuments. This city of grand designs nurtured a lifelong passion for art, architecture, sculpture and design that found expression in the limitless possibilities LEGO bricks could provide.
What started out as a hobby evolved when his works caught the attention of some of Americas greatest corporations and institutions. He has received major commissions from The Kennedy Center, Salesforce, Dulles Airport and Urban Pace.
Whether building for the personnel challenge and pleasure, or for commissioned pieces for institutions corporations and individuals, Richard is driven by his passion to recreate the world in miniature with all its richness and detail and most of all to bring joy and inspire.
