AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Hercules and Cerberus — the twelfth and final labor. The hero descends into the underworld and brings back the three-headed hound that guards the gates of death. The ultimate test, the impossible task, the one that earned him a place among the gods. Painted in cool greys, copper and slashes of blue, the textured background carries the weight of myth into a contemporary frame. A statement piece for collectors drawn to mythology, power, and the timeless story of a man strong enough to walk through hell and come back.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Alexandre Petrus is a French stencil artist with a strong and instantly recognizable visual identity. His signature technique — the hand-cut double-layer stencil — separates light and shadow into two distinct stencils, layered onto a spontaneous, hand-painted abstract background. The result: a sharp, iconic figure rising from a vibrant, textured chaos of color.
To date, more than 450 of his original artworks have found their way into private collections across 10+ countries, from France and Spain to the Netherlands, Germany, the UAE, and the US. He has performed live painting for major French institutions including Disneyland Paris, created large-scale murals for corporate headquarters, and exhibited in several French street art festivals (Grimaud, Perpignan, Venelle). His work is currently shown at Galerie Spot 72 in Le Mans.
His subjects move between mythology, pop culture icons, wildlife and emotionally charged scenes.
Whatever the theme, the signature remains: precise stencil work, instinctive background, and the small smiling "AP" monogram — Alexandre's two initials fused into a face — sprayed on every original piece.
Each artwork is a unique original. No prints, no editions — every background is painted live on the canvas, so no two pieces are ever the same. And every stencil Alexandre cuts by hand is retired after a small series, never mass-produced, never repeated indefinitely. A genuine acquisition for collectors looking for identity, presence, and a strong contemporary signature that stays scarce.
SHIPPING
The artwork is carefully wrapped in bubble wrap and protective plastic film, then secured in a custom-sized cardboard box for safe international transit. The signed certificate of authenticity is included inside the package.

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.
