LEGO Mermaid Mural brings a shot of LEGO artistry to Starbucks Vietnam

Latte art? Tired. LEGO art in the coffee shop? Wired! Especially when the LEGO art in question is as rich and filled with color and genius parts usage like this mural from Vietnamese AFOL and Masterpiece Gallery alum Khang Huynh, in collaboration with building partner Kỷ Duy Phong. Created for Starbucks Vietnam, the artwork was created over four months and measures 1×2 meters.  The work incorporates Vietnamese imagery into an ornate depiction of the coffeemaker’s mermaid mascot.

At first glance, the mural might look flat, but up close, you can see how it bursts from the wall. 2×1 round tiles let the artists shape the flower petals into organic curves. Creative parts usage abounds, like the use of Pteranodon wings for a green gradient in the lily pads.
