Bambi (b. 1982)

Bambi is a British street artist known for her provocative, stencil-based works that often address social and political issues, as well as themes of celebrity and femininity. Dubbed “the female Banksy” by the media, Bambi has kept her true identity hidden, although she is believed to have been born in 1982 and raised in London. Her anonymity has fueled public intrigue and allowed her to focus on her art without personal distraction.  


Bambi first gained attention in the mid-2000s with her distinctive street murals, which began appearing on walls in London’s urban landscape. Her works combine sharp, satirical commentary with an elegant, refined aesthetic that often includes elements of glamour and pop culture. Themes of female empowerment, activism, and environmentalism are central to her art, making her a voice for contemporary social issues.  


Some of her most famous pieces include stenciled portraits of public figures like Princess Diana, Amy Winehouse, and Barack Obama. Bambi’s art has been featured in both public and private spaces, with works commissioned by celebrities such as Rihanna, Adele, and Brad Pitt. Despite her success, she remains committed to the ethos of street art, with many of her works created for public engagement rather than commercial gain.  


Bambi's art has been exhibited internationally and has garnered acclaim for its balance of beauty and boldness. Her works continue to challenge societal norms while celebrating individuality and resilience.
