ABOUT THE ARTWORK
“La Déclaration” captures one of the most universal and vulnerable moments of human experience: the act of revealing one’s feelings.
The scene is intentionally simple yet emotionally charged. A young boy, kneeling, offers a heart — fragile, exposed — while the girl, standing in front of him, reacts with a mix of surprise, shyness and emotion. This suspended moment, just before the answer, is where everything happens.
Rather than focusing on a specific story, I chose to depict a feeling that everyone can relate to: that instant where innocence meets courage, where emotions overcome fear. The heart becomes a symbol of sincerity, but also of risk.
The composition plays with contrast: the stillness of the figures against the textured, almost turbulent background. The surface is built instinctively, with layers of paint, gestures and materials, giving the artwork a raw and organic depth. This background represents the inner chaos behind a seemingly simple gesture.
The stencil work, entirely hand-cut, brings precision and clarity to the characters. Each line is carefully designed to express softness, tension and emotion, while maintaining a strong graphic identity.
This artwork is not just about love — it is about vulnerability, honesty and the courage to be seen without any armor.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Alexandre Petrus is a French stencil artist known for his distinctive visual language, combining the raw energy of street art with the precision of hand-crafted technique.
Working exclusively with hand-cut stencils, he has developed a recognizable and refined signature style, where every line is carefully designed and manually executed. His work stands at the intersection of digital creation, traditional craftsmanship and contemporary urban art.
What defines his approach is a unique balance between control and spontaneity. While the subject is meticulously constructed through layered stencil work, the background is created instinctively, making each piece truly one of a kind. This philosophy — which he defines as “originality in repetition” — ensures that no artwork is ever reproduced or duplicated.
His creations explore a wide range of themes, from wildlife and human emotion to pop culture and classical reinterpretations, allowing his work to resonate with a broad international audience.
Over the years, Alexandre Petrus has built a growing base of collectors across Europe and internationally, attracted by the uniqueness, consistency and strong identity of his work.
Each artwork is an original piece — no prints, no editions — making every acquisition a unique and exclusive addition to a collection.
