Banksy is the pseudonym of a street artist, political activist and director from Great Britain. His real name still remains unknown, despite numerous versions of researchers. Admirers of Banksy's work admire how he went from a vandal who painted walls in Great Britain in the 90s to an artist whose works are worth several tens of millions of dollars at auctions in Great Britain and America.
