Æ (XX-XXI) - Jiji – Night Rituals & Quiet Objects | Triptych (X3) | Mixed Media

Æ (Spain, b. 1977) Jiji no Yoru – Black Cat Reveries Jiji Series · Triptych (X3) Hand-Painted · Mixed Media · Limited Edition References: 1775 · 1776 · 1780 You are bidding on an exclusive triptych of original mixed-media artworks by Spanish artist Æ, featuring Jiji — the iconic black cat — reimagined through a poetic, monochrome visual language inspired by Japanese print culture and quiet domestic ritual. Rendered in deep blacks and luminous whites, the three compositions explore intimacy, curiosity, and stillness. Everyday moments — a drink on the table, a book left open, a bowl of water disturbed by gentle motion — become meditative scenes where time appears suspended. The triptych unfolds as a narrative sequence: anticipation, contemplation, and reflection. Together, the three works create a cohesive atmosphere of nocturnal calm, blending folklore, memory, and symbolic presence. Influenced by Edo-period illustration, matchbox graphics, and underground print textures, the surfaces reveal engraved lines, soft grain, and expressive contrast — transforming simple moments into visual haiku. Each artwork is individually hand-painted, signed, and numbered by the artist. The set is produced in a strictly limited edition of only 10 triptychs worldwide and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity with holographic seal. Details • Total size: 37 × 66 cm | 14.6 × 26 in • Individual size: 37 × 22 cm each • Medium: Spray paint and pastel crayons • Materials: Acid-free Hahnemühle Sumi-e rice paper (archival quality) • Edition: Limited to 10 triptychs, signed and numbered • References: 1775 · 1776 · 1780 • Certification: Certificate of Authenticity with holographic seal • Sold and shipped directly from the artist’s studio About the Artist Æ is an artist and designer with a Bachelor’s degree in Digital Design and Multimedia Technologies (Barcelona, 2004) and academic training in East Asian Studies.

His artworks are held in private collections across more than 30 countries, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. In 2024, his work was included in the Oriental Art Collection at the Zaragoza Museum, Spain’s most significant institutional archive dedicated to Eastern art. Artistic Approach Æ’s practice is defined by restraint, texture, and contrast. Through reduction and repetition, his works explore silence, memory, and emotional presence — creating imagery that feels intimate, timeless, and quietly narrative.
