Felix is an artist, designer, and illustrator who lives in Bohol, Philippines with his wife, Amel, and their five children—Ulan, Ulap, Angin, Araw, and Langit—all of whom are also artistically inclined. A happy father and a great encourager, Felix draws much from the support and encouragement given him since childhood by his own parents.
A graduate of the Philippine Normal College and the Philippine High School for the Arts, Felix won in national painting and art competitions while studying Fine Arts at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City. After finishing his course cum laude in 1992, he worked freelance as a graphic designer and illustrator and soon joined Ang Ilustrador ng Kabataan (Ang InK), fellow artists who helped launch him into books and other print media. The last 25 years has seen him illustrate and/or design more than a hundred books for local and foreign publishers, some of which have received National Book Awards and the Gintong Aklat Awards.
(The rest of the story is still unfolding and some memories needs to be remembered and eventually included here. We apologize for the missing chapters Felix’s growth especially as an artist. They will be coming soon. Thank you!)
