"His style combines a vintage look with modern compositions that employ a collage method and digital painting. Because he works as an illustrator, the images he creates present as purposeful, as if they yearn to say something, but what makes his artwork remarkable is Feliciano’s ability to present final images that are seamless and polished." Kolaj Magazine/CA
"What do you get if you mix a lifetime’s collection of vintage books, magazines, postcards, letters, essays and records sleeves, with the rigid creative process of an architect? Well in Laurindo Feliciano’s case you get a fantastic collection of nostalgic, surrealist illustrations apparently". Jack Daly - FormFiftyFive™/ UK
