Felix, the fear collector

Description

Felix wasn’t like the other children: Felix was the most frightened boy in the world! A story favouring expressing feelings making the most of what, at the beginning, could seem like a limitation or a barrier in every day life. The well-known Galician writer invites us to laugh at ourselves, and the Portuguese illustrator Teresa Lima, accepting this invitation, shows her complicity in the ever elegant and warm images in the album. The Portuguese artist resolves the visual part with her well-known – after the numerous and important awards she has received – plastic line, based on a mixed technique in which she combines pastel tones, coloured-pencils and collage for some elements. About a plastic proposal in which the images are predominant created by a soft chromatic palette constantly playing with a personal luminosity. Images with which the illustrator introduces us to the fascinating world of Felix. Text by Fina Casalderrey Illustrations by Teresa Lima Translation by Mark W. Heslop
