(*) A highly dedicated artist, Bellver treats with each of his works to show a piece of his dreams, his ideals, his vision of the world and of art history, compelling us to engage in dialogue with each work with the aim of discovering oneself (personal nakedness through art). Dominated by the urge to recreate rather than to create in the traditional sense, he remains another false appearance, since the result of his alliance between various elements or themes from different cultures or eras that manage to fuse together gives rise to the birth of a new signifier.
With irony and at times dadaist, he surprisingly combines elements belonging to opposite iconographies, for example depicting leaders of the Cuban revolution in the form of stained glass, typical of Catholic imagery (the Cuban Saints series). His demystifying proposals imply a deep exercise in observation, from which he reveals his own thinking in the background, achieving his goal of defining art, reality, and the self.

He trained in Madrid and expanded his studies in Oslo thanks to a scholarship.
He began his career in the eighties, presenting shows in Madrid galleries such as Nolde or Tórculo. In those years he already participated in major fairs such as ARCO.
He was invited to the Kyoto Impact Art Festival, and as a printmaking professor at the University of Austin, USA. He continues to hold exhibitions, both in Spain and in Hungary, Norway, France, England, Taiwan, the United States, etc. Fully internationally recognized, Bellver has shown his work around the world.

In the mid-nineties he won the Gold Medal for printmaking at the Alexandria Biennial, and he was part of the jury of the National Print Prize of the Calcografía Nacional.

He is represented in the MNCA Reina Sofía, the ICO Collection, the Centro Conde Duque in Madrid, the Rashid Collection of Alexandria, the National Library, the Marcelino Botín Foundation, the Cairo and Jaén Museums of Contemporary Art, the Granada Fine Arts Museum, New York University, the Calcografía Nacional, the BBVA collections, Juan March and Chase Manhattan Bank, and the Diputación de Sevilla, among other collections.
