Alex Feliciano

Alex Feliciano is a Miami-born, Calgary-based painter, sculptor, and maker whose work lives at the crossroads of folk art, street art, and pure chromatic joy. Trained at the New World School of the Arts and shaped by two decades of exhibiting across Miami, Atlanta, and Los Angeles, Feliciano brings a lifelong obsession with color, pattern, and the handmade to everything he creates.

His painted ceramic sculpture series — wall-mounted dog heads cast from his own original models — began when his dog Clem wandered into the studio and sat for a portrait. One cast became six, each painted in a distinct visual language: Moorish tile, cosmic street art, Art Nouveau botanical line, abstract glyphs. The result is a series that is simultaneously playful and technically rigorous, built from hand-sculpted originals, silicone molds, and layer upon layer of acrylic and UV resin.

Feliciano has also spent years teaching engineering, art, and design to young people — a practice that keeps his own work curious, process-driven, and unafraid of whimsy.
