Alexandre Petrus (1988) - FRIDA KAHLO

Alexandre Petrus (1988) - FRIDA KAHLO

ABOUT THE ARTWORK FRIDA KAHLO An unforgettable face, a defiant gaze and a personality that continues to inspire generations. This portrait of Frida Kahlo highlights her unmistakable features, elaborate hairstyle and direct expression. The sharp black stencil contrasts with a textured background of lavender, violet and luminous turquoise, giving the composition a fresh, contemporary identity. Known for her independence, resilience and uncompromising artistic vision, Frida remains one of the most recognizable figures in art history. A vibrant portrait combining the character of a legendary artist with the raw visual language of street art. A striking addition to any contemporary interior or art collection. 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, 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 at 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 backgrounds and the small smiling "AP" monogram — Alexandre's two initials fused into a face — sprayed on every original piece. His street art roots also live through POPCHIPS, an independent urban art project. Alexandre creates small original paintings and installs them in public spaces during his travels, offering passers-by unexpected encounters with art and bringing his work beyond traditional galleries. Each painting is a unique, hand-painted original. The same stencil design may be used in other original paintings, but every background and colour composition is individually created. 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 and protect the identity of each series. 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 (selected at checkout), tracked and insured. Dispatch within 3 working days after payment confirmation. Worldwide shipping available. FOLLOW ME Instagram: @alexandrepetrus.art Website: www.ap-art.fr
