BricknFreak selected by Blockdeco as a Founding Artist
Wonderful news: BrickNFreak has been selected by Blockdeco and is joining the project as a Founding Artist. Blockdeco is an international platform dedicated to brick-based creations, viewing them as genuine forms of art and design. Its goal is to connect creators with the public, provide international visibility for artists, and help move brick design beyond the traditional confines of collecting and the enthusiast community—bringing it ever closer to the worlds of art, interior design, and décor. Within the project, "Blockdeco Origins" brings together the Founding Artists—those invited to contribute to the gallery’s development and identity from the very beginning. It is a pleasure for BrickNFreak to join a project with such an open, progressive, and international vision. You can view my work on Blockdeco and learn more about the project.
