This LEGO Goldorak artwork by qargo boldly reinterprets the iconic figure of the giant robot, capturing the left half of his face with bright, intense colors of deep blue, fluorescent yellow and hints of metallic red. The artist succeeds in distilling the essence of power and protection that Goldorak symbolizes, while offering a modern perspective on this cult hero. The striking contrast between vivid colors and clean lines highlights the character’s imposing aura, suggesting both technological strength and the quest for intergalactic justice.

The QR code, subtly integrated at the bottom of the artwork, is more than just a functional detail. It acts as a gateway to Goldorak’s legendary universe, inviting us to plunge into its world of epic battles and the defense of humanity. This code becomes a powerful metaphor for the fusion of technology and humanity, two concepts at the heart of the Goldorak story, where the robot becomes both a tool of war and a symbol of protection.

Goldorak embodies values of justice, courage and loyalty, fighting to preserve peace across the stars. This LEGO work illustrates that strength lies not only in technology, but in the unwavering commitment to defend the weakest. This partial portrait is a celebration of mechanical heroism, of the ability to transcend the boundaries between human and machine, and of Goldorak’s lasting impact on the collective imagination. A work that, like the character, inspires us to stand up for what is right, whatever the adversary.

EASTER EGG

Key: 74 episodes of 24 minutes (the TV series)

Secret: the Japanese series was produced in 74 episodes of 24 minutes each, for a total running time of 1,776 minutes, or 29.6 hours of programming. The Easter Egg was therefore positioned under the 296th pixel of the platform.

“Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to overcome it.”

Goldorak(UFOロボ グレンダイザー, Yūfō Robo Gurendaizā?literally “Grendizer, the UFO robot”) is a Japanese series in 74 24-minute episodes, conceived, directed and produced by Toei Animation in 1975.

Goldorak, the legendary robot from outer space, is a huge source of inspiration for the artist. His unshakeable courage, exemplary loyalty and commitment to protecting the Earth have taught him the importance of fighting for what he believes in, never backing down in the face of adversity, and protecting the most vulnerable. His lasting impact on popular culture has shown him how a story can transcend generations.

To underline the significant influence of Goldorak in his life, the artist decided to create a diptych, comprising not just one but two distinct original works. These works embody the power of imagination and the importance of fighting for a better world.
