A child who smiles under a snowfall, but you know the works of Banksy, the most famous street artist in the world, whose identity remains hidden, are never what they seem.
A child who smiles under a snowfall, but you know the works of Banksy, the most famous street artist in the world, whose identity remains hidden, are never what they seem.
It had appeared a few days ago on the wall of a garage in the town of Port Talbot, in Wales. The residents of the area had had the suspicion that it was the latest found by Banksy, now the confirmation comes from the artist's Instagram profile.
On a dirty wall there is a child who smiles opening his arms to what look like snowflakes, but as soon as the perspective changes the white dots become the ashes of a burning dumpster drawn around the corner.
The work is therefore yet another social denunciation of Banksy, the English town is, in fact, one of the most polluted places in the country and last July it was invaded by the black dust of the steel mills, which had covered houses and cars.

We are not new to his extraordinary masterpieces because Banksy is not just an artist, he is so much more. In his works he paints reality through metaphors, irreverent images that highlight all the contradictions of our time.
With the spray cans he launches messages condemning capitalism, violence and the use of weapons, against a materialistic society that poisons itself with junk food and destroys its own planet.
