Banksy confirms he created the tree mural in London

Residents of the Finsbury Park neighborhood in the north of London, the capital of England, woke up this morning to find a drawing on a wall behind a pruned tree that was reminiscent of the work of the famous street artist Banksy.

On the wall behind the pruned branches, there was a green pattern that looked like leaves, along with a young woman who appeared to be holding a pressure sprayer used to apply the green paint.

Following hours of speculation on social media as to whether the work belonged to him, the famous street artist made a post on his Instagram account.

CONFIRMED HIS SIGNATURE

By sharing the state of the wall behind the branches as it appeared after the work was completed, where it had previously looked stark white, Banksy confirmed his signature.

The British press reported that a large number of people have been flocking to the area since the morning to see the work located on Hornsey Road.

WHO IS BANKSY?

Banksy is a UK-based street artist, political activist, and film director whose real name and identity remain unverified and a subject of speculation.

His true identity is unknown; Banksy is the signature he uses on his works.

Active since the 1990s, Banksy combines satirical street art and subversive epigrams with dark humor, executed in a distinctive stenciling technique. His works, which feature political and social commentary, have appeared on streets, walls, and bridges all over the world.

Banksy's work emerged from the Bristol underground scene, which involved collaborations between artists and musicians.

Banksy has stated that he was inspired by 3D, a graffiti artist and founding member of the musical group Massive Attack.
