Street artist Vhils’ chiseled portraits

Old buildings are, in a way, a blank canvas for Vhils.  Growing up in Lisbon, he used his lunch money to buy spray paint, and got his training on the streets doing graffiti, working quickly to evade authorities. (Yes, he got into trouble.)

Today, he uses drills and jackhammers to chip away at buildings to create portraits “hidden” within.
