ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This piece is inspired by one of the most emblematic duos in Greek mythology: Pegasus, the winged horse, and Bellerophon, the mortal hero. Together, they symbolize the alliance between courage and transcendence.
I wanted to capture their power frozen in stone, drawing inspiration from classical sculpture while giving it a street-art twist. The background, dynamic and contrasting with deep reds and electric blues, evokes the intensity of the battle against the Chimera, their legendary foe.
Through this work, I explore the notion of elevation—of rising above one's nature. Bellérophon tries to reach Olympus on Pegasus’ back, a myth that reminds us of both the greatness and limits of the human condition.

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.
