Banksy's Artwork

The unknown artist, Banksy chooses to create his work anonymously. He works mainly at night, creating these beautiful masterpieces, yet keeping his identity a secret. His paintings are very symbolic, designed to make you stop, look, and think about what you see.
To me, the painting below shows symbolism towards the war. The bouquet of flowers is a symbol for peace. The young man is obviously ready to throw the flowers, ready to fight. Yet, his mask is showing that he isn't fighting someone, but something.
