The man who collects garbage and sells it for thousands of euros

Oskar Krajewski transforms broken electronics, used plastic containers and unwanted toys into stunning sculptures designed to make us think. The London-based artist finds his raw materials in local trash cans and calls the art of "Recyclism" with trash cans being a source of free materials.

Krajewski hopes to raise awareness about the problem of plastic pollution of the environment. "We are suffocating our planet with plastic and I believe that art can play an important role in our survival." he says.

In particular, it has made a few small pieces dedicated to marine life and the environment, such as a sea turtle made entirely of plastic and LEGO bricks. His most impressive work, Recycled Future, is inspired by sci-fi films such as Blade Runner and features 25.000 different tracks.

His works are valued at a few hundred euros to several thousand euros.
