He often combines life, death, and life after death in his murals, which quickly distinguishes him amongst traditional muralists. His animals are painted to include skeleton and internal organs, making the sight even more realistic. The graffiti artist states, \u201cOrgans are the vital substances of our body and they represent a lot of the symbolism which I like!\u201d One\u2019s love for animals could not be expressed nearly as much as our artist Roa. This mysterious Belgian muralist has created hundreds of murals through Europe. He has also traveled to other locations around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The street artist\u2019s preferred forms of methods to paint are by using spray paint or acrylic paint. In fact, most of his work is created through a mixture of black, white, and gray scale colors. At times, the muralist prefers to sketch, especially those large murals. He first began his artistic career by painting buildings and warehouses in his hometown. Nowadays, his distinctive black and white style street artwork can be found worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Banksy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/st-artamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/07b5b761-58d1-49c2-8681-d41274095385.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/st-artamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/07b5b761-58d1-49c2-8681-d41274095385-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3805\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/st-artamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/07b5b761-58d1-49c2-8681-d41274095385.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/st-artamsterdam.com\/?attachment_id=3805\" class=\"wp-image-3805\" srcset=\"https:\/\/st-artamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/07b5b761-58d1-49c2-8681-d41274095385-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/st-artamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/07b5b761-58d1-49c2-8681-d41274095385-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/st-artamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/07b5b761-58d1-49c2-8681-d41274095385-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/st-artamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/07b5b761-58d1-49c2-8681-d41274095385-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/st-artamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/07b5b761-58d1-49c2-8681-d41274095385-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/st-artamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/07b5b761-58d1-49c2-8681-d41274095385.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Arguably the most controversial street artist in the world, Banksy has developed an entire art subculture devoted to his works.

He lived graffiti and truly enjoyed the movement. His graffiti moniker was Face 3. However, it was not until he found a camera on the subway that his perception on street art change. This allowed him to track the individuals who communicate messages via walls and street art. He quickly began to track people in the forbidden undergrounds and roofs of Paris, France. In 2004, street artist JR photographed the riots that broke out in the banlieues and created his first major project by pasting up large prints of their faces around the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JR owns the biggest art gallery in the world.
