Origin and stations
... a village, Paris, New York and again this village
...
Origin and retirement of Félix is a small 800 years old village
to the foots of the Sierra de Francia mountain in the province of
Salamanca, Spain. San Martín del Castañar.
From his atelier the paintor overviews the rustic small houses
while picturing the whole green valley up to where the eye meets
the Sierra de Béjar in the horizon - often covered in snow.
Félix made his first strokes while
sleeping under bridges in Paris - age 19. Soon he made a living out
of his passion and consolidated a first line of painting in
France.
But he longed for further farther and went to New York, where he
lived through the 60ies and 70ies selling his paintings to renowned
galleries and art collectors.
It was a single happening, a small robbery with a fight, that
brought him back to his origin, the small peaceful village. There
he has further developed his painting to the current
state.
