CYCLING PAINTINGS

Miguel Yanez uses the artistic style of “casualismo” with which he also creates metal sculpture with found objects. A cyclist and free spirit himself, each of Miguel's watercolor paintings is an original design and a wonderful interpretation of the flow and movement we feel cycling. For a current inventory of Miguel's paintings see Tarma Website . Miguel's studio is located about 1 hour north of Quito in a beautiful volcano crater at Reserva Geobotanica Pululahua . Miguel lives right on the equator in the city of Mitad del Mundo.
