Two birds face each other on a single branch. Their beaks nearly touch, suspended in a precise instant where everything could shift — intimacy or distance, harmony or rupture. This suspended moment is the core of the piece. Nothing is explicit, yet everything is charged. The cool, mineral-toned background creates a calm surface that contrasts with the emotional intensity of the encounter. Blues and muted greens suggest silence, distance, and introspection, while the repetitive stencil marks build a rhythmic texture that evokes breathing, heartbeat, and hesitation. The composition is deliberately symmetrical but not rigid. Each bird mirrors the other while remaining distinct, reinforcing the idea that love is not fusion, but alignment. The branch becomes a fragile axis — a shared ground that can hold connection only as long as balance is maintained. The use of stencil here is essential: sharp cuts define proximity and separation at the same time. Light and shadow carve space between the bodies, making absence as important as presence. What matters is not the touch, but the imminence of it. This work speaks about emotional tension in its purest form — the moment before commitment, before withdrawal, before words. It resonates with collectors drawn to subtle narratives, quiet power, and artworks that reveal their intensity over time rather than imposing it instantly. ABOUT THE ARTIST I am a French stencil artist working between street art, pop culture, mythology, and contemporary painting. My work is built on contrast: spontaneous, textured backgrounds combined with meticulously hand-cut stencil layers. Each artwork is unique. Even when a stencil is reused, the surface, energy, and emotional charge are never repeated. I explore the idea of originality through repetition, where tension, identity, and gesture constantly evolve. I create original works for collectors, public spaces, and live painting performances across France, with a focus on strong imagery, emotional tension, and lasting visual impact.
