Visual music
A current theme of Anaut's work is his inspiration from Baroque music, interpreted by him onto canvas.
Following his "London Symphony" exhibited in 2010 with Zimmer Stewart Gallery, Felix Anaut presented his "Zaragoza Visual Symphony" an exhibition of large paintings accompanied by music written by Gonzalo Alonso specifically for this event, in Zaragoza in May 2011. The piece includes an aria written by Felix Anaut and which was sung by the international soprano Marta Almajano. The whole project was accompanied by a catalogue, CD recording and video. With a very innovative installation, the project was curated by Carlos Buil & Ricardo Marco, and sponsored by the Caja Rural de Aragon Foundation.
