Felix Justen: Music That Touches the Soul, Art That Captures the Spirit

 

Born in 1955 in Nassau-an-der-Lahn, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, Felix Justen is an artist of many talents. He studied classical guitar at the Frankfurt Conservatory and the College of Music and Performing Arts, later specializing in rhythmics under the guidance of Professor Amelie Höllering in Munich.

From a young age, Justen expressed his creativity through pencil and charcoal sketches. Today, his artistic range has expanded to graffiti, woodwork, and oil and acrylic painting on canvas, often combined with drumming. His first exhibition was supported by Annette Schneider, curator at the Bremer Kunsthalle, who quickly recognized the artistic potential of his unique approach.

Felix Justen’s large-scale works are noted for their depth and intriguing plays of light. Using spray paint, he brings a mysterious quality to his art, inviting viewers to discover enigmatic landscapes that emerge under his brush. Recurring themes in his work include water, waves, cloudy horizons, and visual journeys to seemingly unreachable places.

On the music scene, Justen has also made a name for himself. As a guitarist and composer, he performs at prestigious international venues such as Carnegie Hall in New York and the Rheingau Music Festival, collaborating with soprano Elizabeth Parcells. His musical career is enriched by live recordings on Boston National Radio and CD productions for the Koch-Schwann label. For several years, he has collaborated with German-Persian soul singer Kaye Ree, with whom he produced two albums, Endless Melody and New Air, and performed concerts in cities such as Hamburg, London, and Paris.
