Le Faucon crécerelle Alexandre Petrus (AP) Hand-cut multi-layer stencil and spray paint Cotton canvas 61 x 46 x 2 cm 2026 Hand-signed on the back – “AP” monogram sprayed on the front Original work delivered with a signed certificate of authenticity Mint ABOUT THE ARTWORK This artwork depicts a kestrel frozen in a moment of absolute control — perched, alert, and fully present. Unlike representations of birds in flight, the power here lies in restraint. The predator does not move because it does not need to. The intense orange background radiates heat and tension, evoking sun, arid landscapes, and the silent pressure of observation. Against this vibrant surface, the finely cut stencil reveals the bird’s precision: feathers layered like armor, talons gripping with calm authority, gaze locked forward. The kestrel becomes a symbol of focus and patience — a creature defined not by aggression, but by mastery of timing. Every detail reinforces balance: between strength and delicacy, instinct and intelligence. This piece speaks about vigilance. About knowing when to strike — and, more importantly, when not to. ABOUT THE ARTIST I am a French stencil artist whose work explores contrast — between instinct and precision, chaos and control, heritage and contemporary expression. My practice combines spontaneous, textured backgrounds with meticulously hand-cut multi-layer stencils. I have exhibited alongside major figures of the urban art scene such as L’Atlas, C215, Carole B, Wawapod, and Jo Di Bona at the SPERA ART FAIR. My work has been collected throughout Europe, with more than 300 artworks sold internationally. I also create live painting performances for major institutions and brands, including Disneyland Paris. Each artwork is a unique original. While stencils may be reused, every background is created instinctively, ensuring that no two works are ever identical. My work focuses on iconic figures, powerful symbols, and contemporary myths, reinterpreted through tension, attitude, and emotional presence.
