Miguel Angel Velit
Urodził się w 1962 roku w Limie, gdzie w 1982 roku ukończył Escuela de Bellas Artes de Lima i mieszka do dzisiaj.
Twórca, którego artystyczna ścieżka ewoluowała przez wiele lat niosąc za sobą zmiany tematów i materiałów. Początkowo zgłębiał tematykę symboli i kształtów wywodzących się z kultury Inków, później zainteresowała go tematyka planet i zjawisk kosmicznych, którą przekształcał na rysunki, a z rysunków na rzeźby. Pracował również nad dziełami niosącymi społeczno polityczne przesłania z obecnej rzeczywistości Peru. Rzeźbił w takich materiałach jak kamień i polerowany marmur. W ostatnich latach tworzy głównie kolorowe rzeźby z metalu. Uprawia również malarstwo, tworząc głównie abstrakcyjne mapy miast.

Wykładał między innymi w Museum of Art w Limie, w Japanise Cultural Center, w ArtSouth Miami Beach Homestead oraz w Fengliang Art Collego w Chinach. Jest zdobywcą wielu prestiżowych nagród. Jego prace znajdują się w kolekcjach kilkunastu muzeów w Peru, Argentynie, Meksyku, Chile czy USA, jak i również w kolekcjach prywatnych, galeriach i w wielu parkach rzeźby na całym świecie: Europos Parkas na Litwie, Franconia Sculpture Park w USA, Sculpture Park w Berlinie, Valdivia Sculpture Park w Chile, Putaendo Park Park w Chile, Chang Chun Sculpture Park w Chinach, Yuzi Paradise Sculpture Park w Chinach i wielu innych.
