Description from the seller
Æ (Spain, b. 1977) – “Pikachu no Bushidō: Celestial Path” (2025) – Mixed Media Triptych
Hand-Signed Limited Edition • Numbered • With Certificate of Authenticity
In this dramatic black-and-white triptych, Pikachu traverses the boundary between legend and cosmos, embodying both the honor of the samurai and the wonder of a celestial voyager. On the left, Pikachu stands resolute in full armor before a temple and looming Mount Fuji, framed by the delicate silhouette of a sakura tree. At center, he appears as a warrior of myth, katana in hand, rising from mountain mists beneath a fractured moon. On the right, Pikachu transforms into an astronaut, clad in a retro space suit, gazing across a sea of clouds and galaxies, where shrines perch like beacons on distant peaks.
Each piece is hand-finished with spray paint, pastel textures, and ink-inspired tonal layering, giving the panels a luminous depth that recalls both Edo-period woodblock prints and vintage manga covers. Æ’s fusion of kawaii iconography with bushidō gravitas creates a collectible series that speaks to innocence, honor, and humanity’s eternal reach for the stars.
A rare opportunity for Pokémon and contemporary art collectors alike!
Each work is hand-signed, hand-numbered, and limited to just 10 sets worldwide—a true collector’s treasure.

About the Artist
Æ, a Barcelona-based artist and designer, earned degrees in Digital Design and Multimedia Technologies (2004) and East Asian Studies. Fascinated by digital mediums from an early age, Æ developed a distinct aesthetic influenced by minimalism, conceptual art, and skateboard graphics.
His works are held in private collections across over 30 countries, including The Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Æ’s pieces have also been acquired by prestigious public collections, such as the Oriental Art Collection at the Zaragoza Museum (2024), which houses Spain’s most significant Eastern art archive.
Æ’s art is renowned for its minimalist approach, using a restrained palette and high-contrast imagery to evoke powerful emotions and explore themes like isolation, duality, and timelessness. His signature style incorporates stark contrasts, East Asian symbols, and iconic cultural imagery, compelling viewers to confront profound ideas with minimal visuals.
Critical Acclaim:
Thierry Fournier of Artnoises praised Æ’s work, describing it as:
*“A transgression of borders, merging the DNA of civilization’s past and future. Æ creates a ticket for emotional teleportation—a minimalist aesthetic that propels us into a rich, timeless void filled with unexplored signs and symbols.”*
