Ronald Beets
Ronald Beets is an Atlanta based figurative painter. Born in Brazil and adopted as an infant, he was raised in East Tennessee. Completely self-taught, Art serves as a functional tool of self-examination. “In my work I paint others to see myself more clearly. My own ‘otherness’ set me exploring very early the power of identity, alienation, and belonging. Through the mirror of portraiture , I invite the viewer to find themselves. To question, relate, connect, and be seen.”
