El Arte Es Basura

Who is behind Art Is Trash?

This clip from 2022-12-08 shows a street piece by Art Is Trash, the project of Barcelona-based artist Francisco de Pájaro. His canvas is whatever people throw away: cardboard, bin bags, broken chairs and old mattresses become grinning characters within minutes. The works are deliberately short-lived and usually vanish with the next garbage collection. Beyond Barcelona, his trash art has also appeared in cities such as London and New York.
