ABOUT THE ARTWORK
“Neptune” captures the raw power and silent authority of the Roman god of the sea, reinterpreted through a contemporary street art aesthetic.
The composition focuses on the intensity of the gaze and the sculptural strength of the face, inspired by classical statuary. The flowing beard and hair evoke movement, as if shaped by currents and winds, reinforcing the connection to the ocean’s untamed energy.
The monochromatic blue palette immerses the viewer in a deep, aquatic atmosphere. It suggests both calm and danger — the duality of the sea itself — while enhancing the emotional depth of the piece. The textured background, created instinctively, adds a sense of depth and vibration, like water in constant motion.
Through this work, I explore the idea of inner strength and control — the ability to remain grounded despite chaos. Neptune is not just a mythological figure here, but a symbol of mastery over one’s own storms.
The contrast between the precision of the stencil and the spontaneity of the background creates a dynamic tension, a signature balance that defines my work.
This piece is entirely created using my double-layer stencil technique. Each stencil is digitally designed, then hand-cut with precision before being applied with spray paint and acrylic, ensuring a unique and unrepeatable result.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Alexandre Petrus is a French stencil artist known for his distinctive visual language, combining the raw energy of street art with the precision of hand-crafted technique.
Working exclusively with hand-cut stencils, he has developed a recognizable and refined signature style, where every line is carefully designed and manually executed. His work stands at the intersection of digital creation, traditional craftsmanship and contemporary urban art.
What defines his approach is a unique balance between control and spontaneity. While the subject is meticulously constructed through layered stencil work, the background is created instinctively, making each piece truly one of a kind. This philosophy — which he defines as “originality in repetition” — ensures that no artwork is ever reproduced or duplicated.
His creations explore a wide range of themes, from wildlife and human emotion to pop culture and classical reinterpretations, allowing his work to resonate with a broad international audience.
Over the years, Alexandre Petrus has built a growing base of collectors across Europe and internationally, attracted by the uniqueness, consistency and strong identity of his work.
Each artwork is an original piece — no prints, no editions — making every acquisition a unique and exclusive addition to a collection.
