Julio Felix (b. 1985)

is an internationally exhibited American painter, sculptor, and scientist living in New York. Although born in the United States state of California, Felix spent many of his formative years in Sonora and Texas. Throughout his childhood, Felix considered art interesting, but not a potential career. He attended college, graduating with an honors degree in Biology, with the intention of becoming a physician. After postponing medical school to study philosophy, Felix arrived in New York and it was there, at the age of twenty-six, that he developed a practice to become a professional painter and sculptor. Felix received B.S. and M.A. degrees from The University of Texas (2009) and New York University (2013)
