The vertical format and the position on the branch create a natural balance, while the bird’s posture conveys both calm observation and readiness. There is a quiet tension in the scene — a moment suspended between stillness and movement. The subject is built using my hand-cut stencil technique, bringing precision and clarity, while the background is entirely instinctive, composed of layered textures and contrasting tones. This contrast between structure and spontaneity is at the core of my work. Each artwork I create is unique. Even when I revisit similar animals, the background is never reproduced, making every piece a one-of-a-kind variation. Works featuring birds often resonate strongly with collectors due to their symbolic connection to freedom, observation and nature. MY WORK IN THE MARKET My works are actively collected through international auctions, with a growing base of collectors following my stencil-based series. This recurring demand reinforces the collectible nature of each piece, where early acquisitions become part of an evolving artistic trajectory. ABOUT THE ARTIST I am a French stencil artist working between precision and instinct. My process combines digital preparation, hand-cut stencils and expressive painted backgrounds. Each piece is built through this contrast — control in the subject, freedom in the background. I have created murals across France and perform live painting at weddings and corporate events. All my artworks are original pieces — no prints, no editions. SHIPPING Carefully packed with professional materials.
