Artur Bordalo (born 1987), known professionally as Bordalo II (pronounced Bordalo Segundo), is a street artist and self-described artivist from Portugal. Bordalo’s work consists mainly of large installations and murals made from recycled trash, to highlight waste and over-consumption in our world today. The animals present in Bordalo II’s installations are species that are directly affected by this pollution and that could perish to the effects of such waste present in their natural habitat. According to the artist, “The idea is to depict nature itself, in this case, animals, out of materials that are responsible for its destruction.” His creations show depictions of bears, foxes, various species of birds, elephants, felines as well as numerous different sea animals. Here are some of the most impressive street art works by Bordalo II.
