ABOUT THE ARTWORK

“Perseus and Medusa” revisits classical mythology through a contemporary stencil language.
Rather than focusing on violence, I centered the composition on tension and contrast — beauty and danger, light and shadow, control and chaos. Perseus is depicted in a sculptural posture, calm and determined, while Medusa’s severed head floats as a suspended symbol of power conquered.

The piece plays with classical references, echoing antique marble statues while translating them into a sharp, graphic urban aesthetic. The double-layer stencil technique allowed me to sculpt anatomy and expression through precise contrasts. Every element was digitally designed and manually hand-cut before being applied with spray paint.

The textured blue-grey background was created instinctively, evoking stone, time and erosion — reinforcing the mythological atmosphere while maintaining a contemporary edge. This dialogue between spontaneity and precision defines my artistic identity.

This is an original, one-of-a-kind artwork. While the stencil may reappear in future explorations, each background is unique, ensuring singularity and authenticity.

A tribute to courage, strategy and the eternal struggle between fear and mastery.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Alexandre Petrus is a French stencil artist working at the crossroads of street art, digital creation and traditional craftsmanship. Based in the South of France, he designs his stencils digitally before printing and hand-cutting them with extreme precision.
His artistic philosophy is built around “originality in repetition”: the stencil may return, but the background is always spontaneous and unique. This balance between instinct and control shapes his visual language.

He has created large-scale murals across France and performs live paintings for weddings and corporate events, bringing urban art energy into both public and private spaces.
All artworks are original pieces — no prints, no editions.

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.
