Ronald Kleier is an artist from the Netherlands, born in 1973 in the village of Nootdorp, near The Hague.

1993-1997 - Studied at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague at the Faculty of Drawing and Painting.

1994 - Ronald traveled around Uzbekistan for several months - got acquainted with the diverse architecture of the region, nature and, of course, with people. His impressions were so strong that the Central Asian theme that appeared in his student works is a leitmotif in his work to this day. After graduating from the academy in 1997, he made a decision that radically changed his life - moving to the capital of Uzbekistan, Tashkent.

The main source of inspiration was, and still is, primarily people and everything related to the life and work of an ordinary person.

Ancient cities, villages of Uzbekistan and Central Asia, Karakalpakstan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, these are the artist's travel routes. Muynak and the Aral Sea occupy a special place in his work. His first solo exhibition in 1999 was dedicated to Muynak. 

Over the years of creative activity, Ronald has developed his own recognizable style.

The artist's paintings are concise and collected, and detailed images convey the ideas of the master with extraordinary accuracy.

Ronald regularly participates in charity events organized by the TWIG International Women's Club.
