Visual artist, professional photographer, and yoga teacher from Puerto Rico, based in NYC. She has a BA in Communications from the University of Puerto Rico, a Photography Certificate from Pratt Institute, and a Visual Arts MFA from Columbia University. Félix’s work has been featured in multiple solo and group exhibitions in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Spain at institutions such as the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Jewish Museum, Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico, and Universidad de Salamanca. She was granted the 2013 Lexus Scholarship for Artists, and more recently she was the featured artist of The Great Hall Exhibition at the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. She has participated in art residencies such as Jiwar in Barcelona, SOMA in México, LMCC's Governors Island Summer Residency and R.A.R.O. Buenos Aires.
Félix works within photography, moving image and projection, that exists within ephemeral sculpture and site-specific installation. Her work explores identity through a deeply personal story that represents the migratory experience of a queer femme body, spirituality in connection to world events.
