(*) A dedicated artist, Bellver treats each of his works as a piece of his dreams, his ideals, his view of the world and the history of art, forcing us to engage in dialogue with each piece with the aim of discovering oneself (personal nudity 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 periods that manage to merge gives rise to the birth of a new signifier.
With irony and dadaist at times, he surprisingly combines elements belonging to opposing iconographies, for example representing leaders of the Cuban revolution as if in a stained-glass window, typical of Catholic imagery (Cuban Saints series). His demystifying propositions 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 grant. He began his career in the eighties, celebrating exhibitions in Madrid galleries such as Nolde or Tórculo. By those years he participated in important fairs such as ARCO. He is invited to the Impact Art Festival in Kyoto, and as a printmaking professor at the University of Austin, USA. He continues to present 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 earned the Gold Medal for engraving at the Alexandria Biennale, 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 Contemporary Art Museums, the Fine Arts Museum of Granada, New York University, the Calcografía Nacional, the BBVA, Juan March and Chase Manhattan Bank collections, and the Diputación de Sevilla, among other collections."
