Punk stencils: our icons go into rebel mode

Everyone knows the Mona Lisa, Einstein or the Statue of Liberty. These images are part of our collective memory. We see them everywhere, often frozen, almost untouchable. So why not shake them up a bit?
This is the principle behind the Punkified a series of punk stencils who take famous figures and turn them into rebels. Studded perfectos, badges, anarchist symbols... and a good dose of humour.
The spirit of the collection
Punk isn't just music or a way of dressing. It's an attitude: saying no, breaking codes, provoking.
When you mix that with characters everyone knows, the contrast is immediate. And it's often funny.
Seeing Einstein stick his tongue out in a jacket covered in patches makes you smile.
To imagine La Laitière posing quietly with an anarchist symbol on her torso is unexpected.
And Munch's anguished Scream almost becomes the movement's ideal mascot.
There's also an element of lightness. We take serious images and turn them into something more accessible and lively.
Punk stencils already available
The collection already features a number of iconic figures:
- Mona Lisa
- Che Guevara
- The Statue of Liberty
- Charlie Chaplin
- Munch's Scream
- Athéna
- La Laitière
- Einstein
Each brings a different energy. Some characters make you smile, others intrigue, and some seem surprisingly natural in their rebellious roles.
And this is just the beginning. New icons are on their way. The next names remain secret for the time being, but some of them are likely to surprise and amuse even more.
An attitude to paint
Punkified isn't just about famous icons in leather jackets.
Each punk stencil carries energy.
An ironic smile, a defiant stare, a snapping posture.
It's no longer just a familiar image, it's an attitude ready to be imposed on a canvas, a wall, or a creation in the making.
A presence that changes everything as soon as it appears in a work.
Why do these punk stencils attract
These stencils appeal because they play on a number of strengths:
- Humour Einstein or La Laitière in punk mode, it works every time.
- Contrast The more 'untouchable' the character is in the original version, the stronger the effect.
- Curiosity the desire to find out who will be the next to go over to the rebel side.
- The spirit of collecting It's hard to stop at just one. We can already imagine an entire series on a wall or canvas.
- The freedom Each artist creates their own version, with no limits on style or rendering.
It's this combination that means Punkified isn't just a series of punk stencilsIt's a project, an idea that triggers the desire to paint.
A series in motion
Punkified is not a static collection. It's constantly evolving.
Each new stencil enriches this parallel gallery where our icons are transformed.
And the larger the series becomes, the more it forms a coherent whole, almost an alternative fresco to the history of art.
The first models are already available.
It's up to you to choose which icon will set the tone for your creations: the ironic Mona Lisa, the provocative Einstein, or perhaps a rebellious version of the Statue of Liberty.
