Artist David Felix creates visual poetry with layered collage paintings. His mixed media pieces usually start with a notebook sketch to work out the form, and he creates organic lines by tracing branches and stones onto the canvas. David explains that working is an unhurried, meditative process. ”The color and shapes I add to the surface must be resolved within themselves and I'm very particular about the tint and the form.” David has been creating art since he was a child growing up in the UK, heavily influenced by his artist parents and their community. His childhood home was filled with equipment for making - workbenches, easels, a stained glass kiln, a printing press. He still works from a home studio, a simple room with exposed eighteenth century roof timbers with tables, jars and a collection of natural materials - sticks, twigs, bird skulls and beach pebbles. David's art has been featured in solo exhibitions across Europe, as well as private and public collections internationally. In addition to visual arts, David also makes music, playing a blend of jazz, funk and folk music on guitar.
