Description from the seller
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Napoleon Crossing the Alps — Jacques-Louis David's iconic portrait of the young general on a rearing horse, painted in 1801 and burned into collective memory ever since. The hand pointing forward, the wind in the cape, the gaze that says follow me or get out of the way. One of the most powerful images of leadership in Western art. Painted here in deep red and electric blue — a nod to the colors of France and to the revolutionary fire that carried Napoleon from Corsican officer to Emperor. A statement piece for collectors drawn to history, French heritage, and figures who shaped the modern world.
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.
