Who is behind Art Is Trash?

This clip from 2025-12-20 shows a street piece by Art Is Trash, the project of Barcelona-based artist Francisco de Pájaro. Since 2009 he has turned rubbish left on the pavement – boxes, bags, mattresses, old furniture – into wild, comic figures painted on the spot. Most pieces last only a few hours – until the city's rubbish trucks come by. His figures poke fun at throwaway culture, power and the established art world.
