Felix 'The Daubing' Dubois

About

Smearing paint like a mad prophet and wielding brushes as extensions of their restless soul, Felix transforms canvases into emotional landscapes that blur the line between technical precision and raw, unfiltered feeling. Behind their serene exterior lurks an obsessive perfectionist who will spend days—even weeks—reworking a single brushstroke until it captures the exact whisper of emotion they're chasing.

Backstory

Three paintings hung upside-down in the Louvre's restoration wing the morning Felix 'The Daubing' Dubois was discovered sleeping beneath them, surrounded by tiny vials of pigment extracted from their own tears. The security footage revealed Felix had been sneaking into museums worldwide for months, not to steal art but to whisper confessions to masterpieces in the dead of night, believing that vulnerability could transfer through proximity to genius. When the acceptance letter from the prestigious Académie des Beaux-Arts arrived, Felix dissolved it in turpentine and mixed the pulp into a self-portrait that now changes expression depending on the viewer's emotional state—a technique no art scholar can explain. Critics who've encountered Felix's landscapes claim the paintings literally pull secrets from their minds, forcing viewers to confront truths they've buried, making each gallery showing feel less like an exhibition and more like a public therapy session.
