Vhils is a globally acclaimed Portuguesestreet artist and urban creator. He is best known for his revolutionary βsubtractiveβ carving technique, peeling back and chiseling layers of urban walls, plaster, posters, and concrete to reveal striking, large-scale human portraits.
Rather than painting or adding new material to a surface, Vhils chips away at existing layersβusing chisels, pneumatic drills, acid, and even controlled micro-charges of explosivesβto expose the hidden material history underneath.
His portraits of anonymous locals or historical figures act as a commentary on rapid urbanization, homogenization, and the layers of human experience embedded within city architecture.
Beyond outdoor building facades across more than 30 countries, his practice spans carved doors, billboard paper, metal, wood, video installations, and styrofoam.
