Felipe Jesús Consalvos was born in Havana, Cuba in 1891, and died in Philadelphia sometime in the 1950s or 1960s. In the 1920s, he emigrated to the United States, moving first to Miami and New York before eventually settling in Philadelphia. Consalvos worked for much of his life as a cigar roller; this vocation influenced his artistic practice, as he often used cigar paper for his material and incorporated the iconography of cigar bands into his artworks. Often described as obsessive, his known oeuvre consists of over 750 surviving collages created on paper, found photographs, musical instruments, furniture, and other unexpected surfaces. Many of these artworks combine figures from popular culture, phrases culled from advertising, and Americana-inspired images, which can be related to his experience as an immigrant. Unknown as an artist during his lifetime, his work was first found at a Philadelphia garage sale in the early 1980s. Today, his work is part of numerous public and private collections
