Felix Stoever

Felix Stoever was born in Lüneburg in 1972 and grew up in Apensen near Buxtehude.

He studied physics at the University of Hamburg and completed his diploma thesis at DESY in 2007 — a scientific education that shaped his later artistic work.

Since the early 1990s, Stoever has made a name for himself in the psytrance and Goa scene: He designed decorations for festivals, created covers and flyers, and produced fluorescent and phosphorescent artworks that unfolded their intense effect under black light and UV light.

His work combined scientific knowledge of fluorescence with the aesthetic energy of the scene — his images “form a bridge between the visible and the invisible, the earthly and the spiritual”.

Tragically, Felix Stoever died in November 2010 at the age of only 38.

After his works remained hidden for a long time following his death, they have been publicly shown again since 2024 — for example at the Hamburg Art Gallery in November 2024 in Hamburg and at the exhibition Parallel Universes at the European XFEL science experience center in Schenefeld near Hamburg.

Felix Stoever's art remains an impressive testament to that connection between science, vision and subcultural aesthetics — a legacy of light, color and psychedelic imagination.
