Banksy - Little girl with balloons stencil on West Bank barrier in Israel tee shirt.

We don't know who is Banksy, we don't know his identity and never seen Banksy unmasked. But his stencils, artworks, graffities are legend in street art world.

His stencil on West Bank barrier in Israel. During his visit to the West Bank, Banksy created nine images along the barrier, most of them provocative without being directly polemical. During the visit to Ramallah and surrounding areas, Banksy reports some tense moments. His spokeswoman Jo Brooks said: "The Israeli security forces did shoot in the air threateningly and there were quite a few guns pointed at him."

On Banksy's website, readers are reminded that Israel's 425-mile-long West Bank barrier, separating Israel from the Palestinian territories, is considered illegal by the United Nations. Banksy's feelings about the barrier are made explicit in a statement which says the wall "essentially turns Palestine into the world's largest open prison."

(Conversation reported on www.banksy.co.uk)

Soldier: What the f*** are you doing?
Banksy: You'll have to wait until it's finished. Soldier (to colleagues): Safety's off

Banksy also records on his website how an old Palestinian man said his painting made the wall look beautiful. Banksy thanked him, only to be told: 'We don't want it to be beautiful, we hate this wall. Go home.'
