High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rafael Ángel "Felo" García (born 1928) is a Costa Rican painter, architect, and football (soccer) player. Garcia was one of Costa Rica's most outstanding art teachers and administrators in the late 20th century. His work as a promoter of Costa Rican culture earned him the nickname "El adelantado" ("The advanced"). García won the 2008 Magón National Prize for Culture, the highest award that can be given to a Costa Rican artist. After a time in England, he began his career as a professional football player in Cuba. There, he met Costa Rican artist Manuel de la Cruz González and he began to show his interest in painting as a form of expression. From Cuba he went to Colombia to continue playing soccer. In Colombia, he discovered the slums of Cali and Medellín, a subject of interest for his first paintings. In 1951 he returned to Costa Rica where, in addition to football, he worked at the Ministry of Public Works and Transportation. With Teodorico Quirós, the architect and landscape painter, he began to paint with greater dedication.
