(*) A highly dedicated artist, Bellver seeks to show a piece of his dreams, ideals, worldview, and art history through each of his works, prompting us to engage in a dialogue with each piece with the purpose of self-discovery (personal nudity through art). Driven by a desire for recreation rather than traditional creation, he is no less than another false appearance, since the result of his alliance of various elements or themes from different cultures or eras that manage to fuse together gives rise to the birth of a new signifier.
With an ironic character, and dadaist at times, it surprisingly combines elements belonging to opposing iconographies, for example depicting leaders of the Cuban revolution as stained glass windows, typical of Catholicism (Cuban Sanctoral series). Its demystifying proposals imply a profound exercise in observation, from which it shows us its own thinking in the background, achieving its 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 1980s, hosting exhibitions at Madrid galleries such as Nolde or Tórculo. During these years, he participated in major fairs like ARCO. He was invited to the Impact Art Festival in Kyoto, and as a printmaking professor at the University of Austin, USA. He continues to hold exhibitions in Spain as well as in Hungary, Norway, France, England, Taiwan, the United States, and others. Fully recognized internationally, Bellver has exhibited his work worldwide.
In the mid-nineties, he received the Gold Medal in engraving at the Alexandria Biennale and was part of the jury for the National Engraving Award at the Calcografía Nacional.
