Traditional art has revolutionised throughout history, inspiring Carlos Felix throughout his life and within his art practice. Capturing the soul, or essence, of a portrait is what Felix specialises in; exploring the idea of what makes a portrait.

Felix experiments with many mediums such as oils and acrylic, latex and sculptural practices, thus examining the nature of what a portrait is in today’s society. Responding to

traditional artists, he creates work that combines the classic with the contemporary.

What have you enjoyed most whilst studying at PCA?

​

The one thing that I have taken most from this degree is my knowledge to understand art: to understand that a sculpture is not just hung to look aesthetically pleasing, or a painting that has no background is not just because the artist forgot or was lazy.

 

What are your future aspirations?

​

I want to become a lecturer, I am passionate about art and want to teach people that want to be taught, that want to learn, that find me inspirational.

​

What is your artistic style?

​

I am a traditional artist that wants to push my work to a more conceptual based aspect.
