Vhils
Another well-known street
artist Vhils (his real name is
Alexandre Farto) chisel down
walls to create unique murals.
Every work of his tells a story
about unknown person looking
straight into the distance.
Through my recent travels  I‘ve
seen his works in Lisbon, Porto,
Aveiro and even in Kyiv
(Ukraine).

That uncertainty that lies
beneath last layer of paint is
what motivates Vhils to enjoy
creative process. Every wall is
like an archaeological digging
site, which allows artist to
explore forefather’s legacy and
their way of life.
Vhils work expose the past by
revealing old naked walls
shaped like a random stranger.
