Bambi Artist   Emerging artists

Dubbed “The Female Banksy" by TV commentator and presenter David Dimbleby, her approach to street art is unique, blending the classic Stencil & Spray Paint technique with original media like diamond dust and gold leaf. Bringing a feminine touch to the street art scene, her artworks have a colourful and glittery feel that make her pieces appealing to a wider range of other art lovers than just graffiti fans.

Speaking of her work in a very rare interview, the media-shy artist said: “I let my work speak for itself. But dreams can inspire me and I am particularly interested in people who spread love and joy…" Her subjects are often related to events and icons of the modern times like: Agent 007 star Daniel Craig, Usain Bolt, Chinese Artist and Activist Ai Wei-Wei, Amy Winehouse, Rihanna, Dita Von Teese, David Beckham, Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Bambi's artworks have been collected by many celebrities including Rihanna, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Adele, Robbie Williams, Mark Owen, Harry Styles and Louis Walsh to name just a few. Recently Kate Moss commissioned her to paint a personal street art portrait in the style of Andy Warhol's iconic 'Marilyn' for a reported sum of £50,000.

Enjoying more and more exposure in both National and International press, Bambi revealed she used to have a prominent career in the music business as singer. There has been speculation over what her real identity might be (M.I.A.? Paloma Faith? Geri Halliwell?) but to this day it still remains a well-kept secret.

Mystery Islington Street Artist Bambi recently reportedly expressed anger at a street piece going under the hammer at Rosebery's auction house in West Norwood, saying that the street piece “is meant to be left on the street for everyone to enjoy. The street is the gallery of the public". In July 2013, Bambi created a new street piece to celebrate Nelson Mandela's 95th birthday on a front door in Mandela Street (London NW1). The mural's tagline reads “It always seems impossible until it's done", a famous quote by Mandela himself.
