Feiler spent the first 15 years of his life in Germany, before moving to England and studying art. After visiting Cornwall for the first time in 1949 and meeting many of the abstract painters based in St Ives, his own work became more abstract. Like many of the St Ives painters, Feiler drew his inspiration from the natural world, as he explained in a contemporary statement: 'I have always enjoyed writing down with paint what I felt the world around me looked like.' Porth Ledden is a small cove at the base of the cliffs at Cape Cornwall, a well known landmark on the rugged north Cornwall coast of Penwith.
