VHILS – Street Art is about innovation!



VHILS is the tag name of Portuguese graffiti/street artist Alexandre Farto (born in 1987) He gained prominence when his work of a face carved into a wall appeared alongside a picture by street artist Banksy at the Cans Festival in London in 2008.

He manipulates a variety of surfaces to create his extraordinary vision. From the brick facade of buildings to peeling off layered flyposters, he reveals images that explore the sub-cultures and dynamism of a city.

UMBRELLA INSTALLATION in Águeda, Portugal


Photographer Patrícia Almeida recently shot these great photos of a wonderfully whimsical umbrella art installation in Portugal. In July, some streets in Águeda are decorated with colorful umbrellas. The umbrellas look almost like they’re magically floating in mid-air. The installation is an initiative by the council in Agueda, Portugal and is a part of an art festival called Agitagueda.
