Kiko Miyares, an artist based in Llanes, Spain, has redefined the concept of being ‘caught in the headlights’ with his unique fleet of chiseled cars. Carved from single pieces of timber, these miniature, vibrant vehicles are not just static sculptures but dynamic pieces that play with perception and form. With their high-beams brightly shining, they cast an array of landscapes and scenarios, inviting onlookers to immerse themselves in a creative game where shapes, dimensions, and perspectives intertwine.
Miyares’ work challenges conventional expectations by merging aesthetics with utility, exploring how the form of an object can alter our perception. His series of cars, supported by distinctively long, solid lights that double as slender columns, suggests a motion that is both grounded and fantastical, as if the cars are driving straight toward the viewer. This ongoing series continues to evolve, reflecting the artist’s ever-changing creative process.
