ABOUT THE ARTWORK
With this portrait, I aimed to place the viewer face-to-face with one of the most powerful and emotionally complex animals on Earth. The gorilla is often seen as a symbol of raw strength, but when you observe him closely, you discover something deeper—an intelligence, a calm authority, and a quiet, grounded presence. My goal was to translate that duality into a visual language shaped by texture, contrast, and rhythm.
The background is built with layered tones of emerald, teal, and subtle gold accents, creating an atmosphere between dense jungle and mineral light. Its organic patterns mirror the gorilla’s environment—wild, textured, and alive. I created it instinctively, using my spontaneous abstraction technique to contrast with the precision of the stencil work.
The gorilla itself emerges through hundreds of hand-cut details, each shaping the density of its fur, the contours of its massive frame, and most importantly, the depth of its gaze. I focused on the eyes as the emotional anchor of the piece. They reflect a mix of dignity, patience, and silent observation—the very qualities that make the gorilla so admired and respected.
This artwork will appeal to collectors who appreciate wildlife depicted not in a decorative manner, but as a presence—something that holds space, invites contemplation, and radiates strength without aggression. It’s a piece that fills a room with character and calm power.
About the artist
I am Alexandre Petrus, a French stencil artist blending instinct and precision. I handcraft all my stencils and paint original artworks that merge pop culture, nature, mythology, and emotion. I create large murals across France, perform live paintings for weddings and corporate events, and develop series of unique canvases using my signature double-layer stencil technique. Each piece is entirely original — I reuse my hand-cut stencils, but every background is created spontaneously, making every artwork one of a kind.
