Born in Quito, Ecuador in 1958, Betancourt grew up in the outskirts of the city (Cumbayá). His talent drew attention early in his teenager years, and he was encouraged to attend art classes in Quito. Prominent Ecuadorian artist, Oswaldo Moreno, became his tutor, friend and artistic guidance. Betancourt claims to have discovered his artistic vocation early. "When my mother fell ill and the five of us were left alone, we were afraid we would lose her. My childhood was full of loneliness, and perhaps that's why I began to paint. It was a recreational activity that would free me from the anguish of poverty and the absence of my mother... my art began in childhood. It was a refuge; I didn't imagine it would become my profession."〔(Article in the Américas Magazine ), Blanco, A. (2010). "Expressions of Experience", ''Américas Magazine'' published by the Organization of American States, Vol. 62, Nr. 3, May/June 2010, Washington, D.C. (USA).〕 His artistic talent earned him a scholarship to study at the Milwaukee Art Center, United States, for a year. Upon his return to Ecuador, he enrolled in university to study Pedagogy and Literature at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador. In 1988, he was invited by the Department of State of the USA to a Cultural Tour. In the same year, the British Council awarded him a scholarship to study a postgraduate art degree at the Slade School of Fine Art at the University College London. During his time in London, Betancourt befriended British artist John Hoyland. Betancourt has travelled broadly through the promotion of his artwork, but resides permanently in the valley of Cumbayá (Quito, Ecuador). Besides his painting, he is devoted to growing tropical plants, pampering his several dogs and nurturing a healthy and colorful ecosystem for plant and animal life in his land.
