Here’s Miguel Velit, in triumph before the sculpture he completed at the beginning of August at Josephine Sculpture Park in Frankfort, Kentucky where he was a guest artist.
Miguel Velit is a Sculptor from Lima, Peru. His sculptures include a whimsical but powerful exploration of dynamic space. I have known him since our days together at Vermont Studio in Johnson Vermont and his work has always been a testimonial to the relentless pursuit of art and its ability to influence and alter the world.
This Summer, he was in residence at the nearby Josephine Sculpture Park in Frankfort, Kentucky as a guest artist where he was working on a variety of large metal sculptures from scrap metal gathered from local metal scrap metal yards. He has completed his sculpture and I have included photos of the results.
Miguel has built sculptures all over the world for a variety of parks, interior and exterior spaces. Countries where his work is on exhibit include China, Poland, the United States, Argentina, Mexico and of course, his beloved hometown Lima, Peru.
Embracing a vigorous investigation of building materials and spatial explorations, Miguel builds sculptures that are arrestingly confident, playful and memorable.
Kentucky was honored to host Miguel as he continues his lifelong artistic quest.
