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, he has been creating and experimenting since early age with 80s computer graphics, creating his own Æsthetics and style, influenced by minimalism, conceptual art and skateboard graphics. These artworks are in more than 30 countries, in private collections all over the world from The Netherlands, Belgium, Italy… to Singapore, Hong-Kong and Taiwan, as well as public Institutions like the Oriental Art Collection in Zaragoza Museum (2024), which has the most important Eastern art collection in Spain.

Æ's artwork is characterized by its spare, minimalistic style, using a limited palette and simple shapes to convey complex emotions and ideas. Common use of stark, high-contrast images to highlight the contrast between light and darkness, hope and despair. The minimalist approach to this art creates an eerie and unsettling atmosphere that underscores the themes of isolation. By using a pared-down style, he is able to create a powerful emotional impact with minimal imagery, forcing the viewer to confront the stark reality of a new world populated with symbols, eastern asian characters and iconic imagery.

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 propels us to a Real Timeless!" T. Fournier (artnoises) ★★★★★
