Portuguese street artist Artur Bordalo, aka Bordalo II, uses mixed media to create his own interpretations of the urban landscape and environment. He often composes his works using various found items that he merges together into beautiful forms. In that sense, his street art is unique because it appears slightly three-dimensional and is presented in surprisingly tactile formations. Recently, Bordalo II created Owl Eyes, a collaged owl composed of found trash and recycled materials. The piece towers high over pedestrians in a rusty compilation of metal, tires, and paint.

Nunzio Paci is an artist based in Bologna, Italy. His gorgeous, multifaceted drawings depict the human body combined with nature and animals. Pen, pencil, and a little bit of color are used to craft these intricate images that mix ink drips with fine, precise renderings. The anatomical artworks give us a look inside the lungs and torso. There are vein-like structures that have the appearance of tree branches, and from it they meander into a fully-formed forest. There’s a surrealistic quality to Paci’s drawings, and the artist wants to push the boundaries of this subject matter. He explains, “my intention is to explore the infinite possibilities of life, in search of a balance between reality and imagination.” (source).
