A Portuguese graffiti artist who goes by Vile has been painting since he was a teenager, a depth of experience that, when combined with his skills in animation and illustration, allows him to "create stunning optical illusions whereby his name appears as a window cut into the side of a wall," as My Modern Met reports.

"The most challenging part of his creative process," My Modern Met explains, "is color matching, as the palette must be selected carefully in order to make the final product convincing."

Below is an image of the wall before the painting:
