Banksy

Banksy is an anonymous British street artist, political activist, and film director known for his provocative and thought-provoking artworks. Emerging in the early 1990s, Banksy uses stencils to create striking graffiti that addresses social and political issues, often with a satirical edge. His iconic pieces, such as "Girl with Balloon" and "There Is Always Hope," challenge societal norms and spark conversations about topics like war, poverty, and consumerism.
