"Girl with a Balloon" (also known as "Balloon Girl") is one of the most iconic works by the enigmatic street artist Banksy. Originally created as a mural in London in 2002, it has been available as a limited edition screen print in 150 signed and 600 unsigned copies since 2004.
The motif depicts a young girl in black and white, her hair and dress blowing in the wind as she reaches for a flying red, heart-shaped balloon. This simple yet powerful composition is underpinned by ambiguous symbolism—the original featured the words " There Is Always Hope.
The interpretation of the work deliberately remains open: some see it as a 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 speaks to universal human emotions and leaves 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 supporting Syrian refugees or as a political commentary. The value of the work has steadily increased, underscoring the enormous demand and cultural significance of this street art masterpiece.
The work and the certificate of authenticity are hand signated and numbered by the artist himself.
