Although we are more used to her portraits depicting all sorts of hats and calm facial expressions, on Elisabeth II's 92nd birthday we reveal another side of the queen, showing how close the British queen can get to people.
Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, known all over the world as Elisabeth II, was born in 1926, ascended the throne in 1952 and since then hasn't only made history as the longest serving monarch in British history, but has became a phenomena in pop culture. Her image has been used in all sorts of works, from TV series and movies to memes. The best art pieces dedicated to Her Majesty in places you least expect to see her are gathered in Sputnik's gallery.
London's foremost street artist Banksy, whose identity remains unknown, takes a particular liking for Her Majesty. This work in Clink street, near London Bridge, dates back to 2002.
An actor dressed up as Queen Elizabeth and Palestinian children from the al-Aida refugee camp attended an event held by secretive British street artist Banksy for the 100th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration on November 1, 2017, at his Walled-Off Hotel in Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.
Street artist Loretto also takes a particular interest in the queen's personality, inclined to a more satiric view as in this graffiti in Great Marlborough Street, London.
Another unconventional image by street artist Loretto - "The Queen Dominatrixes" from Great Marlborough Street, London.
