What happens when the most famous warrior in anime merges with the universal symbol of enlightened peace? Purple Goku Buddha doesn’t settle the question — it embodies it, holding both energies in a single sculptural form that is stranger and more compelling than either reference would be alone.
On one side: endless training, transformation and the urge to fight a stronger opponent. On the other: stillness, detachment and the end of desire. Lazarus puts them in the same body and lets the tension do the work. It’s funny at first glance and oddly calming the longer it sits on a shelf — which may be the most Buddhist thing about it.
Purple is the right colour for this collision: neither the gold of divinity nor the orange of a training gi, but something in between. The piece belongs to a family of works in the collection that mix sacred icons and pop culture, alongside Ganesh in Red and Gold Mazinger Z.
How it’s made. Made to order by Lazarus in his Madrid studio, 3D printed in PLA and signed on the base (underneath). Limited edition of 10. You choose the size — indicate it when ordering or contact us. Ready to ship in 5 days, protected in rigid cardboard.
For collectors at the intersection of anime culture, spiritual iconography and contemporary sculpture — and for anyone who has ever meditated with a Dragon Ball episode playing in the background.
Power. Peace. Purple.
