Felix Angel has received several national and international awards for his work,[1] and his art is in several museums in Latin America, the United States, and England; not to mention many private collections as well.
His father, Arturo Angel Vallejo, was manager of the Pan American Life Insurance Company in Medellin, Colombia.
I guess it was my creative nature, and it was one thing I missed everywhere growing up because Medellin in those days was a very business-like, kind of pragmatic society."
The local newspaper El Colombiano even chronicled his second exhibition in a column known then as Notas Culturales (Cultural Notes).
In the beginning, and for a long time, I think I could be considered as a "figurative", expressionistic artist, and now I can say I have multiple ways to convey visually my ideas and creative motivation.
However, some concerns have always intrigued me, and those are related to man's behavior, socio-culturally speaking...I think people can see that as a constant in my work throughout the many—and sometimes different stages...Felix Angel came to the United States for the first time in 1974, which was three weeks after graduating as an architect.
