Félix de la Concha (born 1962) is a painter. Born in León, Spain, he resides in Iowa City and Madrid. In 1985 he was selected to participate in the Primera Muestra de Arte Joven (Círculo de Bellas Artes de Madrid) where his work was awarded. Since then he has had several shows, mainly in Europe and the United States, including one person exhibitions in the Columbus Museum of Art (1998), Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh (1999), Hood Museum of Art (2009), the Frick Art & Historical Center (2004), Museo de Bellas Artes in Santander (1995), Museo del Chopo, México D.F. (1994), Centro Cultural La Recoleta in Buenos Aires (1993), and Centro Rómulo Gallegos in Caracas (1993). His work ''One A Day: 365 Views of the Cathedral of Learning'', a series that he painted every day during one year while staying in Pittsburgh, is a permanent exhibit at the University of Pittsburgh's Alumni Hall. He has also done other series of paintings in different places such as Rome (the city where he went with a scholarship granted by the Spanish Academy and where he lived from 1989 until 1994), Santander, Seville and Cairo. He has focused on a particular format of portraiture. It can be seen in video the sitter talking, and the painting evolving from blank canvas to the very conclusion of the work. As painted neither from photographs neither from previous sketches, and usually with a single session (''alla prima''), eventual errors are keen to him. He introduces the term ''pictorial anacoluthon'', going back to the Greek origin of the term anacoluthon (meaning ''inconclusive'') and its rhetorical use: ''As with spoken language, there will be mistakes, both in the portrait’s symmetry, and in its sense of completeness. However, what may be considered, at first, a formal mistake may also be a form of expression.'' 〔(''Portraits with Conversation.'' Digital Library University of Iowa )〕 However he accomplishes accurate detail. The first of this series was exhibited at the Museo Contemporáneo de Madrid in 2008.〔(''El arte que habla.'' Diario El País. April 20, 2008 )〕 51 portraits were exhibited at the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College, with the theme of ''Conflict and Reconciliation'' in 2009.〔(''Public Portraits/Private Conversations.'' Hood Museum of Art y Baker Memorial Library )〕 He is currently working portraying and recording Holocaust survivors. 〔(''Portraits and stories from the Shoah.'' The American Jewish World. March 13, 2013 )〕 More recently, he has become interested in portraits with music and synaesthesia, as his performance with the Toledo Symphony Orchestra.〔(Performance with the Toledo Symphony Orchestra )〕 On (''Fallingwater En Perspectiva'' ) he accepted the invitation to an extended residency with unprecedented access to the building and grounds.〔(''Felix de la Concha offers an impressive exhibit of paintings of one building: Fallingwater.'' Pittsburgh City Paper. December 28, 2011 )〕〔(''Spanish artist de la Concha captures various moods of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater masterpiece.'' Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
