ABOUT THE ARTWORK
“Marilyn Monroe” captures the timeless aura of one of the most iconic figures in modern culture.
Rather than exaggerating glamour, I focused on expression — that luminous smile that blends vulnerability and confidence. The portrait balances softness and strength, intimacy and celebrity. It is a moment suspended between myth and humanity.
Using my double-layer stencil technique, I sculpted the face through sharp contrasts and precise highlights. Every line was digitally designed and meticulously hand-cut before being applied with spray paint. The controlled structure of the stencil interacts with the instinctive textured background, creating depth and contemporary tension.
The mineral tones of the background give the piece a vintage yet urban presence. It feels both classic and modern — echoing the way Marilyn’s image continues to transcend generations.
This artwork is an original, one-of-a-kind piece. While the stencil may reappear in future works, each background remains unique, ensuring that every canvas carries its own atmosphere and emotional energy.
A tribute to charisma, femininity and the enduring power of cultural icons.
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 dialogue between control and instinct defines his visual signature.
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.
