The mysterious British artist surprises with an urban intervention without specified geographical location. As always generates debate on social networks about its true meaning.
The mysterious British street artist Banksy has once again captured the public’s attention with his new creationpresented this Thursday on their social networks. The work, starring a lighthouse, is accompanied by an emotional phrase: “I want to be what you saw in me”. Through a double photograph published on his Instagram account, Banksy shows the black sneer silhouette, whose light has been represented with white paint, highlighting the message in English “I want to be What You Saw in Me”.
However, artistic intervention does not seem to limit itself only to the lighthouse. The exact location was not yet revealed, but the details of the environment suggest a careful intention. Banksy has visually connected the lighthouse with a nearby post using a line painted on the sidewalk, creating the illusion that both elements project a joint shadow. This game between the real object and urban art enhances the visual impact of the work.
In the second image shared by the artist, you can see an adult couple walking their two dogs next to the installation. This daily scene brings an air of humanity and closeness to the mural, showing how Banksy’s work is integrated into the daily life of the city. As always, the artist manages to generate mystery, reflection and conversation with a seemingly simple piece, but loaded with symbolism.

Banksy’s last public appearance
Banksy’s last confirmed work was presented on December 16, 2024 and generated a strong impact for his provocative message. In this piece, the artist reinterpreted the classic religious image of the Virgin Mary and the Child Jesusshowing the mother’s chest crossed by a bullet hole and a blood trash. Many interpreted this work as a powerful prenavideño message about the violence and tragedy of the war in Gaza.
Months before, during the European summer, Banksy lived one of its most prolific artistic stages when presenting its series known as the London Zoo. For nine consecutive days, the artist surprised the public with creations starring animals, distributed in different parts of the British capital. Each work aroused curiosity, debate and astonishment, consolidating its irreverent style and its commitment to social and political themes.
Its anonymity as a distinctive feature
Banksy, faithful to his habit of maintaining anonymity, continues to generate worldwide impact with each new intervention. His works not only decorate walls, but they invite reflection and questioning about current conflicts, society and the role of urban art. This balance between visual art and the deep message is what keeps the artist as an influential and enigmatic figure within the contemporary cultural landscape.
