Resumen
Vhils

Lisboa, Portugal, 1987.

 Se dio a conocer en 2008 al aparecer una de sus obras junto a una imagen del artista callejero Bansky en el Cans Festival de Londres.

Este artista portugués se caracteriza por su innovador lenguaje visual en el que talla, corta y perfora la pared para crear sus murales. A nivel conceptual reflexiona sobre la identidad, la vida en la sociedad contemporánea o el paso del tiempo y la consecuente transformación del material.

Su obra está representada en varias colecciones públicas y privadas de todo el mundo. En este sentido destacan sus intervenciones en diferentes contextos, como en las favelas de Río de Janeiro o sus colaboraciones con instituciones como el Centro Pompidou (París), el Centro Barbican (Londres) o el Museo de Arte contemporáneio de San Diego.
