ABOUT THE ARTWORK
“The Declaration” is a tender and poetic artwork that celebrates the purity of first emotions — that innocent moment when love is expressed with complete sincerity, without calculation or fear.

The scene captures a young boy kneeling before a girl, offering her a heart held delicately in his hands. The gesture is simple, almost naïve, yet deeply moving. It speaks of childhood sensitivity, of the courage it takes to reveal one’s feelings, and of those early emotions that remain engraved in memory long after they have passed.

The composition carries a strong emotional balance. The boy’s lowered posture conveys vulnerability and honesty, while the girl’s reaction, filled with surprise and tenderness, gives the scene its quiet magic. Between them, the heart becomes the central symbol of the piece — a small but powerful offering of affection.

The intense blue background creates a dreamlike, almost suspended atmosphere. It softens the scene while giving it depth and serenity, transforming this childhood moment into something timeless and universal. The textured surface, created instinctively, brings movement and life to the composition, contrasting with the precision of the hand-cut stencil.

Through this work, Alexandre Petrus explores one of his most emotional themes: the strength of simple human gestures. “La Déclaration” is not only a scene of childhood love, but a tribute to sincerity, vulnerability and the beauty of emotions before adulthood teaches us to hide them.

A highly touching original artwork, ideal for collectors drawn to poetic scenes, human emotion and contemporary stencil art with a strong narrative dimension.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Alexandre Petrus is a French stencil artist whose work stands out for its instantly recognizable visual identity, combining the raw energy of street art with the refinement of a meticulous hand-crafted technique.

Specialized in hand-cut stencils, he has developed a powerful and distinctive artistic signature, where precision, contrast and emotion come together in a bold visual language. Each composition is carefully built, then brought to life on textured, instinctive backgrounds that give every piece a unique atmosphere and presence.

What makes Alexandre Petrus’s work so compelling is this rare balance between mastery and spontaneity. His subjects are executed with remarkable precision, while the painted backgrounds are created freely and intuitively, ensuring that each artwork is truly one of a kind. This approach reflects the essence of his universe: originality in repetition. Even when a stencil is reused, the artwork itself is never duplicated.

His creations move fluidly between wildlife, mythological figures, pop culture and emotionally charged scenes, making his body of work both diverse and immediately identifiable.

Over the years, Alexandre Petrus has built a growing base of collectors across Europe and internationally, drawn to the uniqueness, consistency and strong personality of his work.

Each piece is an original artwork — no prints, no editions — making every Alexandre Petrus painting a truly exclusive acquisition for collectors who want more than decoration: a work with identity, presence and soul.
