Francisco de Pájaro – Art Is Trash

Behind the name Art Is Trash stands Francisco de Pájaro, a street artist working in Barcelona – this video was published on 2026-04-22. Since 2009 he has turned rubbish left on the pavement – boxes, bags, mattresses, old furniture – into wild, comic figures painted on the spot. The works are deliberately short-lived and usually vanish with the next garbage collection. His figures poke fun at throwaway culture, power and the established art world.
