- A vivid World -
Art about History, Nature and Society
In his series "A Colorful World," the 23-year-old self-taught artist demonstrates that he creates art beyond his portraits. His interest in the history of art and the beauty of this planet is embodied in animals, botany, and references to historically significant paintings, which he uses to build a visual bridge between classical and contemporary art. Felix powerfully shows in this series how diverse his learned skills as an artist are and how he faces unknown challenges.
An Innuendo to Art-History
In his work "In the Face of Night," the painter references one of his great artistic role models, Egon Schiele, in his painting "Self-Portrait with Lantern Fruits." In the painting "The Smiling Girl," François Boucher's "Portrait of a Woman" is transported into his colorful world. Vincent van Gogh, Felix initially inspirer, who contributed to his distinctive style, is symbolically present in some of his works, most notably through stylized sketches of the famous moon from "Starry Night." Felix's "Sunflowers at Night" is one of the clearest hints at his 'teacher.'
Felix was deeply interested in connecting his art with that of other artists and creating a vast network made up of recurring symbols and references, aiming to evoke a sense of discovery in viewers.
"These parallels create thoughts like: 'I've seen this before,' or 'Isn't that from...,' and they generate euphoria," the artist reflects.
