Description from the seller

AE (Spain b. 1977) – “BUNDLE – Legendary Super Robots: Mazinger Z · Great Mazinger · Grendizer” (2026) – Hand-signed, numbered & CoA

BUNDLE!! You are bidding on 3 original artworks from AE’s acclaimed “Japanese Heroes Series”, hand-painted, hand-signed and individually numbered from a limited edition of only 10.

◉ Total size: 37 × 66 cm. Three artworks, each measuring 37 × 22 cm.
◉ Original ink-inspired mixed-media artworks by artist AE. Limited edition of only 10 unique variations.
◉ Hand-finished using spray paint and pastel crayons. Hand-signed and individually numbered.
◉ Authenticated with a holographic seal of authenticity on the included certificate card.
◉ Created on acid-free Hahnemühle rice paper for Sumi-e (“black ink”), ensuring museum-quality archival standards.
◉ Officially registered and catalogued in the artist’s archive.

This striking monochrome triptych pays tribute to three of the greatest icons of Japanese mecha history: Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger and Grendizer. Inspired by the legendary creations of Go Nagai, the artworks reinterpret these timeless Super Robots through the visual language of vintage Japanese manga magazines, technical blueprints, mechanical cutaway illustrations, underground editorial design of the 1970s and traditional woodblock engraving.

Each composition combines intricate mechanical detail, distressed printing textures and bold graphic contrasts to celebrate the golden age of Japanese science fiction. The triptych explores the fascination with giant robots, futuristic engineering and heroic mythology that helped define generations of manga, anime and collectible culture worldwide.

Artist and designer AE (Bachelor’s Degree in Digital Design and Multimedia Technologies, Barcelona, 2004; Bachelor’s Degree in East Asian Studies) has developed a distinctive artistic language inspired by Japanese visual culture, minimalism, conceptual art, vintage manga and graphic design. His works are held in private collections in more than 30 countries, including The Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

AE’s artworks are recognised for their restrained monochrome palette, bold contrasts and carefully balanced compositions. By combining minimalist forms with intricate engraved textures, symbolic imagery and references to Japanese visual culture, he creates emotionally evocative works that blur the boundaries between traditional printmaking, contemporary illustration and pop culture. His unique visual language has become highly appreciated by collectors seeking original limited editions inspired by Japanese cinema, anime, manga and iconic characters.

The 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, merging the civilizational DNA of the future and the past. The work becomes a ticket, a simple ‘go!’ for emotional teleportation lived entirely in black and white. Æ2381 invites us to leap into a timeless world populated by symbols, images and unexplored signs.”
— Thierry Fournier (Artnoises) ★★★★★
