Initially “Feliciano” continued the great Spanish tradition of iron working but introduced a contemporary quality to his work. The kinship of his early works with natural forms is marked. The textures are rough and the colors, obtained through oxidation, lend special interest. In the late 1960s Feliciano began to experiment with Duco plastics and chromium. He created modulars by bending rectangular beams of different sizes at different angles. He also began to create kinetic sculptures set on pivots or hung from the ceiling. At a Paris Biennial of Youth his sculpture of radiating metal blades resembled a hugh flower in bloom. An entire room was devoted to his work at the Sao Paulo Biennial of 1967. In 1968 his large red and yellow cubed construction flanked the entrance to the Spanish Pavillion. Feliciano’s work is found in art museums throughout Spain such as the Museum of Contemporary Art in Madrid.
