“I say that I'm kind of an urban archaeologist because I basically carve on the walls of the city.”
Alexandre Farto, aka Vhils, is considered one of the top urban artists in the world.
“I came up with the idea: instead of adding I would remove the layers of paint onto the walls.”
So using hammers, chisels, knives and even explosives, Vhils began to etch and carve his art onto the walls of Lisbon.
