About the Artist: Aron Belka is a visual artist who has been a pioneer in the translation of exospheric satellite imagery into art. Through the lens of the satellite, Mr. Belka portrays the earth as art – abstract landscapes that allow the viewer to appreciate each painting for the technicalities of the art and the physical place it depicts. Mr. Belka received his BFA from Utah State University. His paintings have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions nationwide, including New York City, San Antonio, New Orleans, Salt Lake City, Portland, OR and Cobleskill, NY.
