The art of Vhils, aka Alexandre Farto, is poetic and complex.
He sculpts portraits in relief on walls, using etching, acid and demolition techniques to reveal images hidden beneath urban surfaces.
Inspired by the effects of the Portuguese revolution, his work reflects a semi-archaeological dissection of social and historical strata.
Vhils transforms ordinary individuals into icons, leaving his unique mark on street art.

Vhils' artistic approach focuses on the exploration of identity and memory through urban sculpture.
Using techniques of destruction, he creates hollow portraits in the walls, revealing the hidden layers of society and history.
His work symbolizes resilience and transformation, while engaging the public in a reflection on social and historical issues.
