Monica Felix

bio

In 2002 she entered the University of Puerto Rico, Rìo Piedras Campus. Once finished with her B.A. in Communications on 2006, Félix became formally employed in the world of advertising at Arco Advertising. She worked as an account executive without separating from her personal projects, like photography, art videos, theater and photomontages. However, those parallelisms became insufficient as the third eye grasped for attention. On 2007, she moved to New York City to study photography at Pratt Institute. The experience opened up the search process of the main themes that Félix explores in this initial phase of her creative work. Artists like Annie Leibowitz, Cindy Sherman, Andres Serrano, Gregory Crewdson, David LaChapelle and Fabian Vergara are key references in Félix’s images, who has looked to establish dialogues with their works, as well as stepping back to develop her own commentary from her life experiences.

As a photographer, Félix has worked at the Museum of The Moving Image in New York. She has photographed actors and actresses as well as theatrical, fashion, documentary, commercial and journalistic projects. Currently, she works as an independent photographer in Puerto Rico with events, individuals, advertising and on her own work.
