Artist and designer Æ (Bachelor’s Degree in Digital Design and Multimedia Technologies, Barcelona, 2004 + Bachelor’s Degree in East Asian Studies). Since an early age he has experimented with digital imagery, Japanese visual culture and 1980s computer graphics, developing a distinctive artistic language influenced by minimalism, conceptual art and traditional Japanese aesthetics. His works are represented in private collections across more than 30 countries, from The Netherlands, Belgium and Italy to Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Collectors appreciate the instantly recognizable character of Æ’s work.
This triptych pays tribute to the quiet poetry of Jiji, the beloved black cat from Japanese animation. Across three scenes—solitary contemplation beside a winter window, a playful everyday meal, and peaceful coexistence with blossoming nature—the works evoke nostalgia, warmth and the fleeting beauty of ordinary moments. Executed in a bold monochrome palette inspired by manga printing, traditional woodblock aesthetics and Sumi-e, the composition balances simplicity with emotional depth. Delicate Japanese motifs and symbolic imagery invite the viewer into a dreamlike world where everyday rituals become timeless visual haiku.
Artist was the subject of a review by respected exhibition curator Thierry Fournier (Artnoises).
“Collected AE (XX), it comes down to wanting, breaking, transgressing, an invisible border, to merging the civilizational DNA of the future and the past, looking down and in the same second, rocking! the work becomes a ticket, a simple ‘go!’ for an emotional teleportation that we live and see in ‘Black and White’! Æ2381 pushes you to jump into a void, in fact, populated with images, symbols, unexplored signs that propel us into a Real Timeless!”
