Leonard Félix.

Lives and works in Geneva, Switzerland.

He has studied at the Pädagogisches Institut, Allgemeine Kunstgewerbeschule and at Lehramt für bildende Kunst, (HES), Basel.

There is something of Buzzati's Tartar Steppe and Gracq's The Opposing Shore in Félix's most recent paintings, the waiting.

In Leonard's work, we often find deserted, abandoned places, or those that have lost their original function. An enchanting atmosphere emanates from the paintings, as if we were contemplating an archaeology of the present where porticoes, stairs, and walls seem to arise from a distant past. The artist works layer by layer, preserving the traces of the preliminary drawing and revealing the pentimenti of a pictorial alchemy that evokes palimpsests, those parchments bearing the traces of several successive writings. This may be the origin of the haunting power of Leonard's works, where the image is always both beautiful and on the verge of dissolving.
