ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The gorilla is a powerful and majestic animal—and sadly, it is critically endangered. Through this portrait, I wanted to highlight both its beauty and its vulnerability. Painting this animal repeatedly is my way of symbolically multiplying its presence in our collective consciousness, as a reminder of the urgent need to protect wildlife and our planet.

With a vibrant jungle-inspired background and intricate stencil work, this piece captures the strength, wisdom, and almost human gaze of the gorilla. The combination of deep greens, vivid yellows, and textured splashes immerses the viewer in the heart of nature—both wild and threatened.

Each variation I create contributes to this artistic mission: to raise awareness, spark emotion, and keep this endangered symbol alive through art.

ABOUT THE ARTIST – ALEXANDRE PETRUS (AP)
I'm Alexandre Petrus (AP), a French street artist and stencil specialist. From childhood sketches of comic book heroes to monumental murals across France, my journey has been one of passion and evolution. My distinctive double-layer stencil technique, hand-cut with precision, merges instinctive creativity with structured design.

I’ve created murals in cities all over France and performed live painting shows for weddings, corporate events, and public festivals. Each artwork I produce is truly one of a kind—I don’t create prints or editions. I draw and hand-cut all my stencils, then reuse them on spontaneously painted backgrounds, ensuring that no two pieces are ever the same. This process challenges the concept of repetition by turning it into a celebration of originality—where each new canvas becomes a variation with its own identity and energy.

My work is a constant dialogue between spontaneity and control, urban energy and delicate craftsmanship. Through my art, I explore identity, memory, and the beauty of both people and nature.
