Felix conveys the message he wants to convey through the unique combination method he pursues. He lived in and was influenced by the era of popular art led by pop artists such as Andy Warhol and Takashi Murakami. In addition, in terms of expression, he was greatly inspired by Cubist painters such as Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, so his works include elements of pop art and Cubism, which are contemporary art, as well as deconstructionism in design art.
His work method, which pursues a combination and balance between modern and contemporary art and the contemporary art in which he lives, adopts and develops 'crossing boundaries' as the main method of expression without violating each other's boundaries. His work coexists the kitschy sensibility of pop art, elements of pop art that somewhat exclude matiere, and a cubist expression method that takes a multi-perspective approach by deconstructing and recombining objects. This is closer to combination and conclusion than variation. This method is implemented in most of his works, and beneath it flows an extremely personalized emotion of a multifaceted inner world.
He wants to talk about the microscopic inner world rather than the macroscopic world. The deconstructed figures embodied in his works contain various emotions such as passion, anger, pity, embarrassment, joy, and fear. You may think that these things cannot replace each other or coexist, but they are possible if you take a multifaceted approach to the object.
The fact that overlapping human emotions can only be understood through a multifaceted approach is established as the most important axis of Felix's world of work. In the icons that have been disassembled into pieces and put together in a mixed state, narratives in which ambivalent emotions such as expectation and fear collide coexist. By unfolding the three-dimensional appearance of these emotions through visual deconstruction in his work, he conveys the message of the importance of multifaceted understanding.
