Sello Ronald Letswalo, born in 1993 in Limpopo, South Africa, is a dynamic multimedia artist whose work explores personal narratives through the innovative use of found materials such as steel and Machangani bags. Letswalo graduated from the Tshwane University of Technology in 2017 with a B-Tech in Fine and Applied Arts.

Letswalo's artistic process is deeply influenced by recycling and upcycling. By reinterpreting disregarded materials, he infuses them with new meaning and life, creating sculptural paintings that reveal the history and conditioning of the materials. His subject matter often revolves around dance, encompassing traditional, spiritual, and modern forms. Using traditional mediums like oil paints on discarded steel, Letswalo demonstrates a high level of skill and experience, transforming scrap materials from yards, homes, and streets into works of quality and value.
Through his art, Letswalo invites viewers to engage with themes of cultural history and identity. His use of salvaged materials and industrial treatments not only adds texture and visual interest to his pieces but also underscores the importance of sustainability and repurposing. His work celebrates the creative possibilities of found materials and the significance of personal storytelling in art.

Over the past five years, Letswalo has exhibited consistently, participating in numerous groups shows, art fairs, and competitions nationally, and has had three international exhibitions. He has collaborated with various arts organizations and is currently a resident artist at the Spier Art Trust. Additionally, he is working on a sculpture series for the Sculpture X and Rooftop XI exhibitions and is part of the Bag Factory Studio Residency under the RMB Talent Unlocked 2024 program.
Letswalo's ongoing exploration of African identity, cultural rituals, and the role of women in South African townships continues to resonate through his powerful and evocative artworks.
