CARLOS BETANCOURT

Carlos Betancourt is a well-known multidisciplinary artist who has won numerous awards and grants. His artworks explore his own experiences, nature, the environment and issues of communication and identity. “Ultimately, I am a storyteller, and I like my artwork to have poetry, mystery, energy and magic, and to be as authentic as possible,” says Betancourt. Miami has played a major role in Betancourt’s career, and he believes in supporting the destination. “Miami is fascinating. There is plenty for everybody and each individual’s interest. Visiting artist studios is probably the most direct way to be immersed in Miami’s vibrant and diverse arts community,” he says.
