ABOUT THE ARTWORK
“Pegasus and Bellerophon” is a striking reinterpretation of one of the most iconic figures of Greek mythology.
The composition depicts the legendary winged horse Pegasus, captured in a powerful rearing pose, carrying Bellerophon — the heroic rider associated with courage, ambition and the quest for glory. Together, they embody elevation, freedom and the desire to rise beyond human limits. The image is both dynamic and timeless, evoking movement, conquest and inner strength.
Beyond its mythological subject, this artwork explores the fascination of mankind with ideals that seem almost unreachable. Pegasus symbolizes the dream, the divine impulse, and creative freedom, while Bellerophon represents determination, willpower and the boldness to pursue something greater than oneself.
The intense blue-green palette gives the piece a luminous and almost aquatic atmosphere, reinforcing its dreamlike and heroic dimension. The background, created instinctively and full of subtle texture, contrasts beautifully with the precision of the hand-cut stencil work, bringing both energy and elegance to the composition.
This artwork is a celebration of mythology, strength and imagination — a visually powerful piece for collectors who are drawn to classical symbolism reinterpreted through a bold contemporary language.
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.
