"Girl with a Balloon" (also known as "Balloon Girl") is one of the most iconic works by the mysterious street artist Banksy. Originally created as a mural in London in 2002, it has been available as a limited edition silkscreen print in 2004, with 150 signed and 600 unsigned copies.
The image depicts a young girl in black and white, her hair and dress blowing in the wind as she reaches for a floating red, heart-shaped balloon. This simple yet powerful composition is imbued with ambiguous symbolism – the original featured the inscription "There Is Always Hope".
The work's interpretation 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 appeals to universal human emotions and leaves room for personal interpretation.
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 steadily 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.
