◉ Total size 37 × 66 cm. 3 artworks, each 37 × 22 cm.
◉ Original ink-style artworks from artist Æ, inspired by traditional Japanese Ukiyo-e, Sumi-e and the timeless symbolism of the samurai. Limited edition of only 10 unique variations.
◉ Hand painted using spray paint and pastel crayons. Hand-signed and numbered.
◉ Authenticated by a holographic seal of authenticity on the included certificate card.

◉ Limited and authorized edition, with registration ID corresponding to the artist’s official catalogue.

Artist and designer Æ (Bachelor’s Degree in Digital Design and Multimedia Technologies (Barcelona, 2004) + Bachelor’s Degree in East Asian Studies). He always felt his medium of choice would be digital, creating and experimenting from an early age with 1980s computer graphics while developing his own distinctive visual language, influenced by minimalism, conceptual art and skateboard graphics. His artworks can now be found in more than 30 countries, in private collections ranging from The Netherlands, Belgium and Italy to Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Collectors appreciate the uniqueness and recognisable identity of Æ’s work.

Æ’s artwork is characterized by its spare, minimalist visual language, combining traditional Japanese aesthetics with contemporary cultural symbols. Using a restrained palette and carefully balanced compositions, he creates works that evoke solitude, contemplation and nostalgia while merging the visual heritage of Ukiyo-e prints, Sumi-e ink painting and modern iconography. The contrast between innocence and heroism, nature and mythology, past and present creates an emotional atmosphere that invites viewers into an imagined timeless Japan populated by iconic characters, sacred mountains and symbolic landscapes.

Artist was the subject of a review by respected exhibitions art curator Thierry Fournier (Artnoises).

“Collected Æ (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 to a Real Timeless!” — T. Fournier (Artnoises) ★★★★★
