ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Le Caméléon explores adaptation as a form of intelligence, not weakness.
Perched in silence, the animal is captured mid-observation. Nothing here is aggressive. Everything is alert. The body blends into the textured background, dissolving the boundary between subject and environment. The caméléon does not hide — it becomes.
The composition emphasizes balance and restraint. The diagonal branch anchors the scene, while the curved tail creates a subtle tension, a visual counterweight that keeps the eye in motion. The muted, earthy palette reinforces the idea of camouflage, patience, and control.
Through layered stencil work, the figure appears almost engraved into the surface, as if revealed rather than painted. Light and shadow are reduced to essentials, forcing the viewer to slow down and look closer — mirroring the animal’s own behavior.
This artwork speaks to collectors who value discretion, strategy, and inner strength. Le Caméléon is a symbol of adaptability in a constantly shifting world, a quiet force that survives not by domination, but by intelligence and timing.
About the artist
I am a French stencil artist whose work explores contrast — between instinct and precision, chaos and control, heritage and contemporary expression. My practice combines spontaneous, textured backgrounds with meticulously hand-cut multi-layer stencils.
I have exhibited alongside major figures of the urban art scene such as L’Atlas, C215, Carole B, Wawapod, and Jo Di Bona at the SPERA ART FAIR.
My work has been collected throughout Europe, with more than 300 artworks sold internationally.
I also create live painting performances for major institutions and brands, including Disneyland Paris.
Each artwork is a unique original. While stencils may be reused, every background is created instinctively, ensuring that no two works are ever identical. My work focuses on iconic figures, powerful animals, and symbolic imagery, reinterpreted through tension, restraint, and emotional intensity.

The artwork will be carefully packed using professional, reinforced materials to ensure maximum protection during transport.
