ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This artwork draws its power from mythology — not as a distant narrative, but as a timeless symbol of elevation and mastery.

Pegasus, the winged horse, is captured in a moment of controlled ascension, while Bellerophon embodies human ambition, courage, and the fragile balance between strength and humility. The composition is deliberately sculptural, inspired by classical statuary, yet reinterpreted through a contemporary urban language.

The sharp contrasts of the stencil carve the figures out of a textured, mineral background, evoking stone, erosion, and the passage of time. Light and shadow collide to give the illusion of movement frozen in permanence — a heroic instant suspended between earth and sky.

This piece is not about domination, but about alignment: instinct guided by discipline, power elevated by intention. A visual dialogue between mythological heritage and modern expression, where the ancient story becomes a metaphor for human aspiration and transcendence.

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 symbols, and contemporary myths, reinterpreted through tension, attitude, and emotional presence.

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

Worldwide shipping with tracking and insurance included.

Seller's Story

French stencil artist, I offer here original works entirely handmade. Each painting is created on canvas using stencils that I draw and cut out myself, then reinterpreted on unique and spontaneous backgrounds. My work draws inspiration from pop culture, mythological figures, artistic icons, and contemporary characters, with an aesthetic blending street art and contemporary art. All artworks for sale are unique pieces (no editions, no reproductions), signed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. I ship each work with the utmost care, in a secure and tracked package, to France and internationally.
