LUST: "Surrounded by erotic representations, those overcome by lust are forced to watch and experience disgusting things, ultimately being condemned to drown in the menstrual river."Picture: Mihai Marius Mihu / Rex FeaturesCredit: Mihai Marius Mihu / Rex Features III.

Those who committed the greatest sins against God are getting a special treatment inside the temple where they are doomed to burn for eternity in the scorching flames."Picture: Mihai Marius Mihu / Rex FeaturesCredit: Mihai Marius Mihu / Rex Features VII. VIOLENCE: "A place of intense torture where the horrific screams of the damned are eternally accompanied by the hellish beats of drums."Picture: Mihai Marius Mihu / Rex FeaturesCredit: Mihai Marius Mihu / Rex Features VIII.

TREACHERY: "Lucifer lies here chained by the Angelic Seal which keeps him captive in the frozen environment."Picture: Mihai Marius Mihu / Rex FeaturesCredit: Mihai Marius Mihu / Rex Features Lego artist Mihai Marius Mihu says: "I didn't read the Divine Comedy, only the small descriptions of the circles I found on the websites. I didn't want to be much influenced by the original descriptions because I wanted to give a whole new fresh approach for each circle. I thought more about the significance of titles and from then on it was only my imagination."Picture: Mihai Marius Mihu / Rex FeaturesCredit: Mihai Marius Mihu / Rex Features
