Description from the seller
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
“Le Lion” is an original work by Alexandre Petrus that embodies strength, authority, and inner power.
This composition presents the lion in a striking and frontal way, with an intense gaze and a majestic mane that immediately capture attention. A timeless symbol of courage, leadership, and determination, the lion represents both raw force and controlled calm. Through this piece, the artist seeks to express the presence of a silent power: the kind that does not need to roar to impose itself.
The vibrant red and orange background reinforces the emotional intensity of the artwork. These fiery tones evoke energy, passion, and dominance, while creating a powerful contrast with the hand-cut stencil portrait. The result is a bold and elegant piece that radiates character.
“Le Lion” is an artwork for those who connect with strength, resilience, ambition, and self-mastery. It is both a decorative statement and a symbolic piece, carrying a strong presence wherever it is displayed.
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, 450+ artworks sold in 10+ countries have found their way into private collections across France, Spain, 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, Venelles). 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 identical editions: every background is painted individually and spontaneously on the canvas, making each piece different. Each hand-cut stencil is strictly limited to a maximum of 50 original artworks. Once that limit is reached, the stencil is permanently retired. A deliberate choice to preserve scarcity, protect the identity of each series, and avoid diluting the value of the work.
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.
Shipping via Colissimo or Chronopost, tracked and insured. Dispatch within 3 working days after payment confirmation. Worldwide shipping available.

Seller's Story
French stencil artist, I present here original works entirely handmade.

My work is inspired by pop culture, mythological figures, artistic icons and contemporary characters, with an aesthetic blending street art and contemporary art.
All works for sale are unique pieces (no edition, no reproduction), signed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
I ship each work with the utmost care, in secure and tracked packaging, to France and internationally.
