About Félix Rubio
Biography
Félix Rubio is a Spanish painter whose work explores expressive figurative painting through bold brushwork, strong colour contrasts and psychological intensity. Working primarily in oil on canvas, Rubio focuses on the human figure and on emotionally charged scenes that combine sensuality, irony and tension.
Influenced by masters such as Velázquez, Lucian Freud and Egon Schiele, his paintings reinterpret classical themes through a contemporary painterly language. Rather than seeking realism, Rubio uses distortion, colour and gesture to reveal the inner life of his characters.
His work moves between tradition and modern expressionism, creating paintings that are both visually powerful and psychologically engaging, inviting the viewer to confront the complexity of human emotion.
