Alexandre Petrus (1988) - SANJI (ONE PIECE)

Alexandre Petrus (1988) - SANJI (ONE PIECE)

ABOUT THE ARTWORK “Sanji” is a tribute to one of the most charismatic and stylish characters in Japanese pop culture. The artwork presents the character in a confident frontal pose, with his signature expression, partially veiled eye, and cigarette immediately making him recognizable. His relaxed yet intense attitude gives the piece a strong presence, balancing elegance, strength, and rebellion. Reduced through the hand-cut stencil technique, the figure becomes highly graphic while preserving the character’s identity and personality. The vivid blue background brings freshness and energy to the composition. Combined with the black, white, and blue tones of the subject, it creates a striking visual contrast that enhances both the silhouette and the expression. The textured abstract background adds depth and movement while keeping the focus firmly on the central figure. “Sanji” is a work that will appeal to collectors of manga-inspired art, pop culture, and contemporary stencil art. It offers a bold and elegant reinterpretation of an iconic character through a distinctive urban-art aesthetic. 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 is a striking visual language where each subject emerges with strength, clarity, and presence. His work moves between mythology, pop culture, wildlife, and symbolic scenes inspired by childhood, freedom, and human emotion. Whatever the theme, the approach remains the same: precision in the stencil, freedom in the background, and a constant search for contrast, impact, and emotion. Each artwork is a unique original. No prints, no identical editions: every background is painted individually by hand, making each piece distinct. The small smiling “AP” monogram visible on the artwork is the artist’s signature — Alexandre Petrus’s initials merged into a face — sprayed onto every original piece. 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. A 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.
