Félix de la Concha is a painter. Born in León, Spain, he resides in Pittsburgh and Madrid. In 1985 he was selected to participate in the Primera Muestra de Arte Joven 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 , Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh , Hood Museum of Art , the Frick Art & Historical Center , Museo de Bellas Artes in Santander , Museo del Chopo, México D.F. , Centro Cultural La Recoleta in Buenos Aires , and Centro Rómulo Gallegos in Caracas . 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.
