Colourful line drawings on paper – urban art by Art Is Trash

Who is behind Art Is Trash?

This clip from 2026-03-03 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. That makes every figure a one-off: once the street is cleaned, it is gone, and often only videos like this one remain. Beyond Barcelona, his trash art has also appeared in cities such as London and New York.
