										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>She lives in Berlin and works as a costume installation designer.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This 61-year-old artist lives and develops his creative work in Catalonia. Although his professional career has been focused on Information Technologies, from a young age he has maintained a constant connection with drawing and sculpture, training both in private academies and at the School of Applied Arts and Artistic Crafts of Tàrrega.</p>
<p>His work stems from a need for expression and an innate curiosity that has led him to dismantle all kinds of objects in order to understand their inner workings. This inquisitiveness drove him to create his first Interpretations: sculptures born from dismantled machine parts, reassembled according to aesthetic criteria, always keeping the original pieces and using authentic screws and springs to join them.</p>
<p>Currently, his work focuses on the assemblage of recycled and everyday elements—such as butane cylinders, golf clubs or frying pans—transforming them into semi-realistic sculptures. Wood, clay and assemblage remain his main artistic languages, through which he explores new creative paths based on reuse and transformation.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Artur Bordalo, also known as Bordalo II (pronounced Bordalo Segundo), studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lisbon for eight years, where he discovered sculpture, ceramics, and experimented with various materials. His passion for painting dates back to his childhood, when he spent endless hours watching his grandfather paint in his studio, as well as tagging in Lisbon’s graffiti underground. Deeply influenced by his grandfather, Artur Bordalo began painting walls on the streets at the age of 11. Later, he chose the artist name Bordalo II as a tribute to his grandfather, Artur Real Bordalo (1925–2017), to honor him and highlight his artistic legacy. Public space would become the chosen stage for his explorations of color and scale, and the platform where he develops his artistic work, which today focuses on questioning the materialistic and greedy society of which he is (also) a part.</p>
<p>Worldwide known for using street trash to create impressive animal sculptures warning people about pollution and endangered species, his works are considered Trash-Art. The Big Trash Animals, large animal sculptures made from plastic waste, have spread across the world since 2012. Today, he also works on smaller formats with the Small Trash Animals. These serve as a reminder of the overproduction and overconsumption of goods, which leads to the continuous production of garbage and, consequently, the destruction of the planet. Bordalo II’s main goal is to raise awareness about how much waste is produced by humans and how we can stop causing so much harm to the Earth.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ricardo Moraga is a Chilean sculptor based in Barcelona for over twenty years. In his three-dimensional work, he uses recycled materials such as wood, old books, sheet metal, and rusted metal objects. This use of decaying materials is no coincidence: oxidation becomes a central element of his artistic language, symbolising the passage of time and the inevitable decay that affects all things and living beings.</p>
<p>His sculptures occupy space with a poetic and material presence, blending memory, transformation, and ecological awareness. Through the reuse of discarded objects, Moraga invites us to reflect on the beauty of imperfection and the value of things that seem to have reached the end of their cycle.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Born in Lanchester, Durham (UK), in 1960, Steven Forster is a multifaceted artist with a career as rich as it is varied. Sculptor, painter, musician, composer, performer and unconventional interior designer, he is responsible for the transformation of emblematic places such as the Bodega Saltó, where art and recycling combine in a unique way. He is also one of the founding members of Trapo-Arte, promoting the philosophy of the art of recycling since its beginnings.</p>
<p>Since his arrival in Barcelona in 1988, Forster has been a key figure in the city&#8217;s alternative scene, actively participating in polypoetry projects, installations, plastic arts and experimental music. He currently lives and works in Hostalric, La Selva, with innovative projects such as #Van Imagination, #Hostalric De ARTE, #The Nose and #Ni Manantial Ni Doors, where his creativity continues to push boundaries.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What initially motivates Felip Gaig to create is that he enjoys himself in the studio. However, suddenly, Drap-Art&#8217;s proposal makes him reflect: &#8220;In addition to having fun, I have the opportunity to contribute, even if it’s just a small grain of sand, to raise awareness among an audience disillusioned with the powers, which are almost always driven by interests. There’s nothing more to say about that&#8230; persisting is the only option we have left. I keep working.&#8221;</p>

That&#8217;s why, 10 years ago, when the opportunity arose, he decided to create his own version of a Hang, a musical instrument invented by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer in Switzerland, which was inspired by Caribbean steeldrums and at that time cost over 2000€.</p>
