"Girl with a Balloon" (also known as "Balloon Girl") is one of the most iconic works of the enigmatic street artist Banksy. Originally created as a mural in London in 2002, it has been available since 2004 as a limited silkscreen print in 150 signed and 600 unsigned copies.
The motif depicts a young girl in black and white, her hair and dress blowing in the wind as she reaches for a red, heart-shaped balloon that is flying away. This simple yet powerful composition is supported by ambiguous symbolism – the original was inscribed with the words "There Is Always Hope."
The interpretation of the work remains deliberately open: Some see it as the loss of innocence, while others understand it as a moment of letting go or as a symbol of hope that seems just out of reach. Through this ambivalence, the work addresses universal human emotions and allows room for personal interpretations.
Over the years, "Girl with a Balloon" has become a cultural phenomenon and has been used in various contexts, such as to support Syrian refugees or as a political commentary. The value of the work has continuously increased, underscoring the enormous demand and cultural significance of this street art masterpiece.
The artwork as well as the certificate of authenticity are hand-signed and numbered by the artist himself.
