(*) A highly dedicated artist, Bellver seeks in each of his works to show a piece of his dreams, his ideals, his vision of the world and the history of art, obliging us to engage in a dialogue with each work with the purpose of self-discovery (personal nakedness through art). Driven by a desire for recreation rather than by traditional creation, he remains another false appearance, since the result of his alliance between different elements or themes from various 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 surprisingly combines elements belonging to opposing iconographies, for example representing leaders of the Cuban revolution in the style of a stained-glass window, typical of Catholic iconography (Cuban Saints series). His demystifying proposals imply a profound 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 extended his studies in Oslo thanks to a scholarship. He began his career in the eighties, holding exhibitions in Madrid galleries such as Nolde or Tórculo. By these years he also 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 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 Biennale, and he was part of the jury for the National Print Prize of the Calcographic National.
He is represented in the MNCA 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 Granada Fine Arts Museum, New York University, the Calcografía Nacional, the BBVA, Juan March and Chase Manhattan Bank collections, and the Diputación de Sevilla, among other collections.
