Francisco's work can seen as artistic suicide, those are destined to be destroyed. That's why he has to work quickly, his work is an action, he pic the rubbish and make a piece of art in a few minutes, and then the piece die. De Pajaro said "I am creating fun and beauty out of something society considers gross and disgusting". This have a closed relation with his origin. This artist moved to London to escape the economic crisis in Spain and restrictive laws outlawing street expression. His art is not interested with money or with art gallery. That's why he turned his art to the street and for anyone.
