As an artist 👨‍🎨, I found inspiration in this piece of art 🖼️👍. Would recommend stopping by 👍

The artwork is part of Bordalo II's Big Trash Animals series, that aims to raise awareness about a current problem that is likely to be forgotten and become trivial or a necessary evil: consumerism, trash production, waste, contamination, pollution and their effects that destroy our Planet's harmony, which is our unique Habitat. It was created on June 23, 2019, as a symbolic landmark of the conference Lisboa+21, which focused on the challenges and opportunities of sustainable development in the 21st century. The installation represents an Iberian Lynx, a threatened species that is undergoing conservation programmes. The Iberian Lynx is the most endangered feline in the world, and its habitat is mainly in Portugal and Spain. The artwork is made of recycled materials, such as plastic, metal, wood, and tires, that the artist collected from the streets, landfills, and abandoned factories. The artist uses these materials to create realistic and colorful sculptures that resemble the animals he wants to portray. The artwork is located at the Parque das Nações (Park of Nations, World Expo Park), a modern and developing district on the eastern bank of the Tagus River. The artwork is over 10 metres high and can be seen from different angles and perspectives. It offers a stunning contrast between the natural and the artificial, the beauty and the ugliness, the life and the death. I hope this helps you learn more about the cat/lynx artwork by Bordalo II in Lisbon.

(Translated by Google) Incredible work of this artist, I have visited quite a few works throughout the country and they seem pure fantasy to me. The colors he achieves with recycled objects and his speed when making a work of this type. I would give it one more star. If they are in the area, stop by for your photo. Everyone will ask you where it is (Original) Increíble obra de este artista, tengo visitadas bastantes obras por todo el país y me resultan pura fantasía. Los colores que consigue con objetos reciclados y su rapidez a la hora de hacer una obra de este tipo. Le daría alguna estrella más. Si están por la zona para a por tu foto. Todos te preguntarán que donde es

Beautiful artwork by Bordalo II. The Cat is one of his works of art in Lisbon.

In public space. Spin

Good cat but looks weird 🐱😁

If you're looking for something unique and inspiring to see in the area, make sure to check out this incredible statue made entirely of recycled trash. It's a rare opportunity to witness art that makes such a powerful statement about our impact on the planet, and it's sure to leave a lasting impression on you. The location also offers a nice view of the water, and it's within walking distance from the train. If you're coming from the airport, it's only three stops away, and the train ride itself offers some beautiful views.

Amazing sculptures made by trash! What a great idea.

Beautiful cat sculpture out of recycled materiall

The initiative of such street objects is very important and interesting.

Sculpture at the Park of Nations in Lisbon made entirely with recycled material. It's really very well done and you really have to get very close to it to see what it's made of. This artist has other works in Lisbon and in certain cities in Portugal, notably at Villa Nova de Famalicao where you can discover a mouse in the square.

A lynx statue made of plastic scraps. It looks much better in person than in the pictures.

A great nod to artists using all sorts of materials. The size of it was noteworthy and I love how it’s a part of the area.

Great place to eat and listen to live Latin music.

Magnificent giant statue in the pure Bordalo style.
