Bio

The Photographs of Felix R. Cid reveal a certain part of the artist's personal life while simultaneously offering a glimpse of the crisis between the past and the future of our contemporary society. Cid's work functions as an investigation of the shifts in the relationships between human beings. And, it seeks to draw attention to the rage of the characters in his photographs, often romanticized, as they struggle to articulate a sense of identity.

Felix R. Cid was born in 1976 in Madrid, Spain, where he began his studies in Fine Art and Photography. His work was soon published in different European media. After a time spent living and working in London, Cid moved to New York, where he graduated from the International Center of Photography in 2004.

He lives in New York.
