Felix Arauz (b. 1935, Guayaquil, Ecuador) Another very important artist to come out of Guayaquil, Ecuador in the last fifty years. Arauz is among the art circles of Oswaldo Guayasamin, Enrique Tabara, Edwardo Kingman, Anibal Villacis and Juan Villafuerte. It is, from the fastening, of the intersection of the dream and the reflection, from where the art emerges from. Every time (each Series, each picture), elaborates with greater clarity its formal elements before combining them on the supports, and this exercise does not diminish, in minimum, its spontaneous, constant of its vast splendid pictorial work. Very instinctively it exerts plenary session dominion of his calligraphic touch that is, without a doubt, one of the appraised gifts of most of the great artists. But that gift that comes with the artist, and it is necessary to take care of it, to nurture it, by means of a work destiny, and this is important in the life of Felix Aráuz: to work indefatigable, enthusiastically, every day, without truces nor lethargies, but eluding the trends to reproduce, soles in hand, works that had demand or, to say it without euphamisms, to work summoned single by commercialist aims as it happens in many­.

Felix Arauz continues to paint in his studio in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
