Art Critique of Banksy’s Newest Mural

It has become a tradition for me to reflect on Banksy’s work. My critique is based on the synchronicity and energy the piece evokes in me—not the artist’s intended vision. I feel a heart-based connection to Banksy, as if we are soulmates in art, both inspired by heart chakra energy. One sign of this is his connection to Princess Diana, known for her enormous heart and love for humanity—this is why I am drawn to his work.
The newest mural, now washed off, appeared at the perfect moment. It was located at the Royal Courts of Justice in London. As the Global Sumud Flotilla sails toward Gaza, with evacuation orders being issued and mass arrests of protesters taking place in London, the mural speaks to the right to resist injustice. The judge striking down the protester reminded me of a statue I keep at home of a Jew. To me, it symbolizes worldly structures of control that dominate through money and fear, while heart-based energy remains the most powerful tool for change.
The piece reflects not only protests in the UK for Free Palestine but also the deeper energetic battle of our time: low-frequency forces seek to disconnect people from spirit, replacing storytelling and connection with TV and mass media. Art created from the heart counters this, uplifting and uniting even when covered or erased.
The synchronicity of creating my art in the same moment feels meaningful. The vibration of this mural is still present, and I feel deeply connected to it. I love what Banksy does, and the energy of this work is a reminder to rise up, create from the heart, and spread light in a fear-driven world.
