Alexandre Petrus (1988) - LA DECLARATION

Alexandre Petrus (1988) - LA DECLARATION

ABOUT THE ARTWORK “La Déclaration” captures a simple childhood gesture filled with tenderness, courage, and sincerity. A young boy kneels and offers a heart to a girl standing in front of him, turning an innocent declaration into a universal image of first emotions. The scene is immediately readable and deliberately direct: no grand gesture, just vulnerability, surprise, and affection. The intense red and orange background gives the artwork a vibrant, warm presence, while the precise stencil work keeps the two figures sharp and expressive. A joyful and emotionally charged piece about childhood, first love, and the courage it takes to reveal what we feel. 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. 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. 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. FOLLOW ME Instagram: @alexandrepetrus.art Website: www.ap-art.fr
