At first, Felix worked as a graphic designer as part of a small agency in Cancún. One day, a client had requested that he take some simple, rudimentary photographs. Felix, who had done a fair amount of analog photography in university, hesitantly obliged. Little did he know, the assignment would change the trajectory of his career. Felix’s project was warmly received and, when he adjusted his lenses, he reignited his desire to hone his skills behind the camera. Felix describes his first few productions as “bad,” but his early results did not deter him from improving his craft. Felix wanted to get better, fast. He began with product and interior photography and eventually moved to more complex types of photography.

Before Felix knew it, he was building massive sets and scale models in his studio. There, he became a master of big and small; the intricate details in the terrains and cars that he created and fabricated culminated in grand productions beyond his wildest imagination.

Today, Felix spends most of his day in his Cancún studio. His average morning begins by waking up, preparing for the day, kissing his wife and children goodbye, and embarking on his walk to the studio. There, he prepares coffee, answers emails, monitors social media, and begins building the sets and models for his upcoming projects. If the proximity to the lush Cancún beaches was not enough, Felix’s art studio is a true paradise, complete with rooms dedicated to fabrication, meetings and conferences, photography and studio equipment storage, and even a kitchen for satisfying those midday hunger pangs. His studio is his second home, where his dreams become reality. In the studio, the space between ideation to completion and artist to viewer collapses, allowing him to create some of his most prized miniature works to date.
