The anonymous artist strikes again, this time above the clouds.
A Surprise in the Snow
Early this morning, hikers near Zermatt, Switzerland, stumbled upon something no one expected to see at 2,800 meters altitude — a massive mural frozen into the side of an alpine glacier, unmistakably in Banksy’s signature stencil style.
The artwork depicts a child spraying a red heart over a melting ice wall, with the words:
“Still warming up?”
Within hours, the news spread across Europe. Experts are divided — some call it a powerful environmental statement, others doubt whether the real Banksy was involved at all.

Within hours, the news spread across Europe. Experts are divided — some call it a powerful environmental statement, others doubt whether the real Banksy was involved at all.
Why Everyone’s Talking About It
The piece combines two global obsessions — street art and climate change.
It appeared just days before the World Climate Summit in Geneva, and many believe it’s Banksy’s most direct ecological message yet.
Drone footage reveals that the mural is carved partly into ice — a fragile canvas destined to melt away within weeks. That ephemerality feels intentional: art that vanishes like the planet it warns about.
Theories & Speculations
• Some art trackers spotted Banksy’s official authentication team (Pest Control) quietly monitoring online discussions — fueling rumors it’s genuine.
• Others argue it could be a collective imitation, part of a viral project by climate activists known as IceVoices.
• Local authorities are now trying to protect the area, as hundreds of people have begun hiking to see the piece before it disappears.

Art in the Age of Climate Anxiety
The artwork has already generated over 12 million views on Instagram and TikTok, and sparked conversations about whether activism and aesthetics can coexist.
As one curator said:
“If this is Banksy, it’s his most tragic piece — because it’s literally melting away.”

What ArtExpoWorld Thinks
This “frozen wall” feels like the perfect metaphor for our time.
We scroll through beauty as it dissolves before our eyes — from glaciers to art itself.
Whether Banksy made it or not doesn’t even matter anymore.
What matters is that art can still stop people mid-scroll, mid-step, mid-sentence — and make them feel something real.
