FELIX BECKER

Born in 1987 in Frankfurt am Main, Felix Becker is a contemporary artist based in Berlin.

Becker completed his studies in fine arts at the University of the Arts (UdK) Berlin, as a Meisterschüler of Thomas Zipp in 2021, having also studied with Valérie Favre. In 2019, he spent a period at the Beaux-arts de Marseille, France. Becker's academic pursuits were supported by a scholarship from the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes from 2011 to 2014. He passed the state exam in art education and philosophy in 2014 after his studies in art education, philosophy, politics, and mediascience at Goethe-Universität in Frankfurt, Germany.

In his work, Felix has a singular approach that blurs the boundaries between painting and sculpture. He applies multiple thick layers of paint to create volume and texture. Light and shadow play an essential role in his works, offering the possibility to interpret in diverse ways.
