(*) A highly dedicated artist, Bellver treats each of his works as a piece of his dreams, his ideals, his view of the world and of art history, forcing us to engage in a dialogue with each work with the aim of discovering oneself (personal nakedness through art). Driven by a need for recreation rather than creation in the traditional sense, he remains another false appearance, since the result of his alliance of elements or themes from different cultures or eras that manage to fuse gives rise to the birth of a new signifier.
With an ironic character, and dadaist at times, he unexpectedly combines elements belonging to opposed iconographies, for example portraying leaders of the Cuban revolution as if in a stained glass window, typical of Catholicism (Cuban Saints series). His demystifying proposals imply a deep exercise in observation, from which he shows his own thinking in the background, achieving his objective of defining art, reality and the self.
He studied in Madrid and extended his studies in Oslo thanks to a grant. He began his career in the eighties, staging exhibitions in Madrid galleries such as Nolde and Tórculo. In those years he participated in important fairs such as ARCO. He was invited to the Impact Art Festival in Kyoto, and served 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. Bellver is internationally fully recognized and has exhibited his work all over the world.
In the mid-nineties he won the Gold Medal in engraving at the Alexandria Biennale, and was part of the jury for the National Prize for Engraving at the Calcographia Nacional.
He is represented in the MNAC Reina Sofía, the ICO Collection, the Conde Duque Center in Madrid, the Rashid Collection of Alexandria, the National Library, the Marcelino Botín Foundation, the Cairo and Jaén Contemporary Art Museums, the Fine Arts Museum of Granada, New York University, the Calcografía Nacional, the BBVA Collection, Juan March and Chase Manhattan Bank, and the Diputación de Sevilla, among other collections.
