Portuguese born street artist Vhils has an original vision of what urban development really means, and he travels the globe exposing what’s beneath the surface of city walls .
Using various tools to dig, drill, scrape and otherwise remove sections of masonry, he reveals the images hidden behind the smooth walls, and the results are nothing less than spectacular. He should call his style of art urban erosion sculpture!
“This excavation, often a process of violent removal, stands in sharp contrast to the delicate portraits discovered hidden underneath.”
Can you dig it?

Seven rock formations called Man-Pupu-Nyor (little mountain of the gods) stand in the Komi Republic, a part of the Ural Mountain area of Russia. They range from 30 to 42 meters tall! The pillars formed when erosion washed away the mountain that once surrounded them over a period of 200 million years. Legend says they are evil giants who had a spell cast upon them.
